Latest software innovation automates every step of the authorization submission process, reducing time by 70% and dramatically boosting auto-approval ratesLEHI, Utah, and LOUISVILLE, Ky., Feb. 28, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Waystar (Nasdaq: WAY), a provider of leading healthcare payment software, today announced the launch of its Auth Accelerate solution, a major expansion of its advanced automation capabilities designed to streamline the prior authorization process from start to finish.Prior authorizations pose significant challenges across the healthcare spectrum.
