Quick Setup (< 1 hour)

You can use Locata to automate healthcare referrals and reduce administrative work for medical staff. The system automatically submits prior authorizations to insurance payers based on clinical rules, checks approval statuses, and updates your electronic medical records directly. It securely sends patient charts to specialists through digital fax and follows up with patients using automated phone calls and text messages. After specialist visits, Locata retrieves consult notes, extracts key medical data into your records system, and provides operational analytics across your referral pipeline.
