Built for the moment insurance says no.

Before I was a founder, I was a pharmacy technician at CVS. Every day, patients would walk in with a prescription. Tired, worn down, thinking the hard part was finally over.

And I'd have to tell them their insurance said no.

My advice was always the same: go back to your doctor. Ask them to write a letter. Fight it. And that advice wasn't wrong. Your doctor is your strongest advocate, and their voice carries real weight with the insurance company.

But doctors are seeing dozens of patients every day. Appeal letters take time they don't always have. Patients would wait. Deadlines would creep closer. Some missed their window entirely. Some just gave up and walked away from a fight they could have won.

That gap between a patient who needs help and a doctor who wants to give it but doesn't have the hours is exactly where AuthFight was born.

She was a single mother. She kept going to work through chemo, through the exhaustion, through the pain, because stopping wasn't an option. Her kids needed her. The bills didn't stop because she was sick.

Neither did the insurance company.

Denial after denial. Medications her doctor ordered. Treatments she urgently needed. A system that kept saying no, not because anything was wrong with the treatment, but because a reviewer somewhere decided it was not medically necessary.

She had to appeal while fighting cancer. She navigated paperwork and phone trees on the same days she was going through chemotherapy. She spent energy she didn't have on a battle she never should have been fighting.

She passed away two years ago. And I couldn't stop thinking about those hours. The energy she spent on paperwork should have been handled by someone else. Someone who knew the system, who had the time, who could fight.

I decided to become that someone.

I spent months learning how prior authorization really works: the federal regulations, the appeal timelines, the legal mechanisms most patients never know exist. I learned that the system isn't impossible to beat. It's just designed to make you feel like it is.

Once I understood how the system worked, I started paying attention to where technology was going. I saw what AI was becoming capable of, and I realized it was exactly what this problem needed.

So I got to work. I built AuthFight and trained our AI to understand prior authorization from the inside: the denial codes, the federal regulations, the medical arguments that win appeals, and the deadlines that expire. Everything I spent months learning, I taught it.

What used to take a patient hours of research and a doctor hours of drafting, AuthFight now does in minutes. But I want to be clear about exactly what that AI does, and what it never will.
