Who We Are
AuthFight, Inc. ("AuthFight," "we," "us," or "our") operates the AuthFight platform at authfight.com. We provide tools that help patients understand, prepare, and submit appeals for prior authorization denials issued by their health insurers.
This Privacy Policy explains what personal information we collect, how we use it, who we share it with, and what rights you have. By using our platform, you agree to the practices described here.
If you have questions at any point, contact us at privacy@authfight.com.
What We Collect
Information you provide directly
- Account information: Your name, email address, and password when you create an account.
- Denial information: Your denial letter uploaded as a photo or PDF, denial code, insurer name, and date of denial.
- Health information: Your diagnosis, prescribed medication or procedure, prescribing physician's name, and any supporting clinical notes you choose to upload. This constitutes Protected Health Information (PHI) under HIPAA where applicable.
- Appeal intake responses: Your answers to the 5-question intake form we use to personalize your appeal letter.
- Insurance information: Your insurer name, plan type, member ID, and group number.
Information we generate on your behalf
- Your Fight Score: A calculated probability score based on publicly available CMS-reported overturn data for your insurer, your denial code category, and your case urgency. This score is generated automatically and presented to you for informational purposes.
- Your appeal letter draft: An AI-generated appeal letter created using the information you provide in the intake form, combined with relevant clinical evidence and legal frameworks. This draft is reviewed by a licensed physician before submission.
Information collected automatically
- Usage data: Pages visited, time spent, features used, and actions taken within the platform.
- Device and technical data: IP address, browser type, operating system, and session identifiers.
- Cookies: We use essential cookies to keep you logged in and remember your session. We use analytics cookies to understand how the platform is used. You can disable non-essential cookies in your browser settings.
How We Use Your Information
We use your information only to deliver the AuthFight service and to comply with our legal obligations. Specifically:
AI & Your Data
AuthFight uses artificial intelligence to generate personalized appeal letters based on the information you provide in your intake form.
What the AI does
Our AI combines your denial details, health background, and intake responses with clinical evidence (FDA approvals, NCCN guidelines, peer-reviewed literature) and legal frameworks (ERISA, ACA, state insurance codes) to produce a draft appeal letter. The output is a starting point — it is always reviewed and signed by a licensed physician before submission.
What the AI does not do
You are always in control
You may review any AI-generated letter before it is sent to a physician or your insurer. If you are not satisfied with the output, you may request revisions or withdraw from the process entirely with no charge.
Fight Score methodology
Your Fight Score is calculated using publicly available data that Medicare Advantage insurers are federally required to report to CMS — specifically their overturn rates by denial category. This is public government data, not your personal health information. We combine this with your denial code's historical reversal frequency and the urgency classification of your case. The Fight Score is an estimate for informational purposes only and does not constitute a legal guarantee of outcome.
Data Retention
We retain your information for as long as necessary to deliver the service and meet our legal obligations.
Security
We take the security of your health and personal information seriously. Our safeguards include:
- Encryption in transit: All data transmitted between your browser and our servers is encrypted using TLS 1.2 or higher.
- Encryption at rest: Your documents and health information are encrypted at rest using AES-256 encryption.
- Access controls: Access to your data within our organization is restricted to employees and contractors who require it to perform their job. All access is logged and audited.
- Document transmission: Denial letters and appeal documents are transmitted to physicians and insurers via HIPAA-compliant encrypted channels.
- Breach notification: In the event of a data breach that affects your PHI or personal information, we will notify you and relevant authorities in accordance with HIPAA's Breach Notification Rule and applicable state law.
No system is 100% secure. If you believe your AuthFight account has been compromised, contact us immediately at security@authfight.com.
Your Rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the following rights regarding your personal information:
All users
- Access: Request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
- Correction: Request that we correct inaccurate or incomplete information.
- Deletion: Request that we delete your account and personal data, subject to legal retention requirements.
- Withdrawal: Withdraw your consent to process your health information at any time. Note this will stop your appeal.
- Portability: Request your data in a structured, machine-readable format.
