Why it matters

Addiction revenue work is clinically time-sensitive. A stale Medicaid plan, wrong MCO, pharmacy-benefit PA delay, film-versus-tablet formulary denial, missing counseling evidence, or wrong state rendering provider can interrupt a buprenorphine refill and create both revenue and care-continuity risk.

Fewer refill-threatening authorization surprises
Cleaner Medicaid and self-pay handling
More reliable state-aware scheduling and billing
Workflow checks

Evidence to catch before work leaves the queue.

Operating workflow

Rules-first automation with human review where it counts.

Automation fit

Inspect the actual artifacts.

Foresight checks whether required evidence is present, whether records contradict each other, and whether the available facts look approvable under payer criteria before submission.

Completeness

Check Member ID, active Medicaid/MCO, pharmacy benefit, patient state, rendering provider state enrollment, DEA profile, PDMP, UDS, counseling or treatment-plan evidence, product form, quantity, NDC, PA expiry, and self-pay or no-charge acknowledgment.

Contradictions

Surface mismatches between eligibility and pharmacy rejection, film versus tablet documentation, Medicaid-pending versus cash-pay handling, office-based MOUD versus OTP bundle logic, or injectable inventory that does not support the billed medication line.

Payer approvability

Apply state Medicaid and MCO rules for oral and injectable MOUD, high-dose continuation, product-form exceptions, counseling/monitoring requirements, medical-versus-pharmacy benefit routing, and refill-sensitive PA windows.

Common leakage points

The work Foresight is built to surface early.

Medicaid coverage churn between intake, visit, and refill

Film-versus-tablet formulary denials after long-term stability on film

Injectable MOUD denied because the NDC, unit basis, PA, or Medicaid medical-benefit rule was copied from a commercial payer

PA expiration tracked only in a chart note or portal dashboard

Wrong provider, state, taxonomy, or DEA profile on a controlled-substance telehealth claim

Cash-pay or no-charge care not separated from collectible AR

Workflow risk audit

Map the risk surface.

A useful audit scores concrete workflow gaps: missing evidence, contradictory records, payer criteria risk, and follow-through after submission.

Required evidence present

Whether the claim, PA, or appeal has the basic identifiers and clinical anchors needed before work leaves the queue.

Chart contradictions

Where the EHR, notes, questionnaire, inventory, pharmacy response, and billing record point to different answers.

Payer approvability

Whether the available evidence appears to satisfy payer criteria before the submission creates AR or appeal work.

Follow-through

Whether approvals, denials, paper EOBs, portal messages, corrected claims, and deposits resolve cleanly after submission.
