Humata + R1
Led by Michael Kolb & Thomas Lytle
What Humata brings to R1, why authorization matters, and how it strengthens the Phare OS story
Key takeaways
- Physician-led prior auth technology, built to scale: Every service, every payer, with automation and AI at every step.
- Proven technology: 90% of authorizations are touchless. Customers see a 96% first-pass approval rate, 99% automated status checks and 30% fewer write-offs.
- Comprehensive prior authorization: Built on Epic eMPA with 250+ payer connections, it covers the whole workflow from auth requirement to approvals, with post-auth monitoring and CPT mismatches.
- Tech led, people backed: Humata automates the work, and R1's experts handle exceptions. Together with Phare UM, it's the market's most comprehensive answer.
- Questions that open the door: Ask about prior auth staffing, what's still manual, documentation-driven denials, and CPT mismatches.
- Have an opportunity? Here's the play: Email Michael Kolb, Jenny St. Louis and Tom Lytle together to start.
