Ethermed, an AI-driven Prior Authorization automation innovator in healthcare, and VisiQuate, a leader in AI-powered revenue cycle intelligence, announced a strategic partnership designed to modernize prior authorizations and streamline revenue cycle operations. Together, the companies will combine Ethermed’s embedded authorization automations with VisiQuate’s predictive models, data engine, and intelligent automation to accelerate approvals, reduce administrative burden, and improve financial performance for providers and payers.
Turning Insights Into Immediate Action
The collaboration pairs VisiQuate’s intelligence suite, including its AI-driven authorization prediction model, data engine, analytic insights, robotic process automation (RPA) and revenue cycle workflows, with Ethermed’s automated prior authorization engine that executes submissions directly inside clinical workflows.
Together, VisiQuate and Ethermed’s models curate and predict whether an authorization is required before work begins, ensuring that only essential requests proceed through automated clinical review in accordance with payer medical policies, the auth is then submitted seamlessly. VisiQuate uses the resulting outcomes to continuously refine its predictions – creating a full-circle, closed-loop system that improves accuracy around procedure mapping, medical necessity requirements, and error detection (e.g., wrong procedure codes).

Dan Friedman, Founder & CEO of Ethermed, emphasized the power of this combined approach: “VisiQuate’s data and predictive modeling pinpoint exactly where prior authorization slows down workflow and where risk is emerging. Layering our embedded AI automation capabilities on top of those insights resolves friction points seamlessly and immediately.”
Both organizations share a commitment to reducing administrative waste and enabling clinicians and revenue cycle teams to operate at the top of their license. By automating repetitive tasks, predicting authorization needs, and enabling proactive intervention, the combined solution preserves clinical time while advancing patient access and financial outcomes.
Unified Experience for Joint Clients
Joint clients will gain access to integrated dashboards, automated form submissions, predictive authorization guidance, near-real-time audit trails, and end-to-end transparency that drive measurable ROI and operational efficiency.
Speaking to the value for clients, Brian Robertson, CEO of VisiQuate, noted: “Partnering with Ethermed strengthens our platform by bridging insights with seamless execution. We apply our data, prediction models, and automation around the edges, while Ethermed delivers comprehensive authorization submission. Together, we’re not just identifying where problems exist, we’re automatically solving them and continuously improving the process for our clients.”
Extending Ethermed’s Capabilities with VQ8 RPA and Data Intelligence
As part of the partnership, VisiQuate will layer its automations and AI-driven data logic on top of Ethermed’s embedded automation to extend integration depth with payers and refine routing decisions. By leveraging VisiQuate’s data engine alongside Ethermed’s invisible outcomes AI, the joint solution becomes progressively smarter at predicting when authorizations are required, submitting more accurate authorization requests, flagging when submissions may be incorrect, streamlining the P2P process for providers, and preventing downstream denials.
A Seamless Addition to the VisiQuate Partner Ecosystem
As a featured member of the VisiQuate Partner Ecosystem, Ethermed‘s automation is available across VisiQuate’s national client base. The integrated solution intercepts and submits authorizations in seconds, without extra logins, portals, or disruptive navigation, delivering adaptive automation at the true point of need.
