It often requires providers\, payers\, and clinical teams to mo ve through multiple systems\, gather supporting documentation\, interpret medical policies\, and wait for manual reviews before a decision can be ma de. These delays can create frustration for care teams and\, more importan tly\, can slow down patient access to needed services.\n\nThis session exp lores how agentic AI can help modernize prior authorization by supporting tasks such as eligibility checks\, policy review\, documentation validatio n\, missing-information detection\, clinical summarization\, exception rou ting\, and appeal preparation. The focus is not on replacing human judgmen t\, but on using AI to reduce manual effort\, improve consistency\, and he lp teams make faster\, better-informed decisions.\n\nThe presentation will also cover the security and governance considerations that matter when AI is introduced into healthcare workflows. Topics include protecting PHI\, preventing inappropriate data access\, reducing hallucination risk\, maint aining audit trails\, securing integrations\, and ensuring human oversight for complex or high-risk cases.\n\nAttendees will leave with a practical view of how agentic AI can support a faster\, safer\, and more transparent prior authorization process while preserving trust\, compliance\, and pat ient safety.\n\nAgenda: \n3:30 Welcome and Member Updates (John Berkner)\n 3:40 Guest Speaker: Making Prior Authorization Faster and Safer with Agent ic AI (Tirumala Ashish Kumar Manne)\n4:20 Q&A\n4:30 Adjourn\n\nVirtual: ht tps://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/558407 LOCATION:Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/558407 ORGANIZER:john.berkner@ieee.org SEQUENCE:37 SUMMARY:IEEE Twin Cities Consultants Network - May 14 2026 - Virtual Meetin g URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/558407 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p class="MsoNormal"><strong>Virtual Event: G oogle Meet\, 3:30 - 4:30pm&nbsp\;<br>Emerging Technologies</strong></p>\n< p class="MsoNormal"><strong>Topic: &nbsp\;Making Prior Authorization Faste r and Safer with Agentic AI&nbsp\;</strong></p>\n<p class="MsoNormal"><em> Registration is requested&nbsp\;</em></p>\n<p class="MsoNormal">3:30 &nbsp \;Welcome and Member Updates (John Berkner)<br>3:40&nbsp\; Guest Speaker:< strong> </strong>Making Prior Authorization Faster and Safer with Agentic AI (Tirumala Ashish Kumar Manne)<br>4:20&nbsp\; Q&amp\;A<br>4:30 Adjourn</ p>\n<p><span style="font-size: 12.0pt\; line-height: 115%\; font-family: ' Calibri'\,sans-serif\; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin\; mso-fareast-fon t-family: Calibri\; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin\; mso-hansi-theme- font: minor-latin\; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'\; mso-bidi-the me-font: minor-bidi\; mso-ansi-language: EN-US\; mso-fareast-language: EN- US\; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA\;">Prior authorization is one of the most ch allenging administrative workflows in healthcare.
