Extend Your Platform to Support Prior Authorization CMS-0057-F Requirements

Deploy CMS-mandated CRD, DTR, and PAS FHIR APIs in 3–6 months — while preserving your existing utilization management workflows and decision logic.

Why choose an embedded FHIR layer

Aidbox runs alongside your existing UM platform as a Prior Authorization facade.

CMS-0057-F Changes the Technical Baseline

CMS-0057-F mandates fully electronic Prior Authorization workflows exposed through standardized FHIR APIs. Operational metrics, denial reason transparency, and reporting requirements are already in effect — with full API readiness required by January 1, 2027.

FHIR-based PA APIs (CRD, DTR, PAS) required

Standardized electronic prior authorization request and response flows.

Standardized denial reasons and timelines

Clear, consistent communication and SLA expectations.

Public reporting and measurable SLAs

Transparency and accountability for authorization performance.

Payers accountable — delegated entities execute

Compliance burden lands on your platform; you need production-ready APIs.

The Compliance Burden Lands on Your Platform

Building a parallel FHIR-native PA intake channel from scratch introduces operational and regulatory risk.

Delegated entities face unique pressure: high prior authorization volumes, strict SLAs, and multiple intake channels.

  • High PA volumes under strict SLAs
  • Multiple intake channels (phone, portal, X12, FHIR)
  • Integration across multiple payers
  • Real-time status and decision transparency required

An Embedded FHIR Layer — Not a System Replacement

Aidbox runs alongside your existing utilization management platform as a Prior Authorization facade. It exposes CMS-compliant CRD, DTR, and PAS APIs while your internal UM platform remains the source of truth.

Facade Pattern

How it fits together

EHR → FHIR APIs (Aidbox) → Existing UM System → Rules Engine → Reporting. Minimal, clean, infrastructure-style.

Flow: External EHR connects to Aidbox FHIR layer, which integrates with existing UM system and rules engine, with analytics and reporting.

CMS-Compliant Prior Authorization Infrastructure

Technical depth for CIO-level evaluation.

FHIR R4 Server with USCDI support

Full US Core and USCDI-aligned data model.

Full CRD, DTR, PAS implementation

Da Vinci aligned; CMS-0057-F ready.

FHIR Subscriptions for real-time updates

Status and decision notifications as events.

X12 ↔ FHIR conversion (278, 275)

Hybrid intake during transition.

Built-in audit logs and compliance dashboards

Traceability and reporting out of the box.

Multi-tenant architecture (OrgBAC / MultiBox)

Isolated boundaries per payer or line of business.

Built for Multi-Payer Utilization Management

One workflow. Multiple channels. Consistent decisions.

Serve multiple payers within isolated tenant boundaries

Multi-tenant design keeps data and config separated.

Maintain consistent authorization decisions across channels

Same rules whether request comes via phone, portal, X12, or FHIR.

Support hybrid workflows (phone, portal, X12, FHIR)

No big-bang cutover; transition at your pace.

Preserve operational continuity during CMS transition

Your UM platform remains the source of truth.
