Key trends driving demand: Telehealth expansion -- more remote prescribing increases volume of PA requests and introduces new audit/coverage frictions.; Clinical-NLP maturity -- improved extraction of diagnostic timelines and outcomes from EHR text enables automated, defensible prior-auth justification.; Payer digitization -- payers investing in ePA APIs and automations reduce friction points and make integration practical.; Regulatory scrutiny on denials -- payer transparency initiatives are pressuring faster appeals and could favor data-driven automation..
