Submit and track prior authorizations for advanced imaging on the radiology benefit-management portals payers route them through. MRI, CT, and PET authorizations rarely live on the payer’s own portal: they go to a specialist imaging-review system with its own clinical questionnaire, and this workflow follows them there.

How Asteroid runs this workflow
An imaging order enters the queue, Asteroid works the radiology benefit manager's portal and answers the clinical-appropriateness questionnaire strictly from the documentation you supply, and the authorization number or current status writes back. Any question the chart doesn't answer stops for your clinical team.
How it actually runs
A medical-necessity review, a peer-to-peer request, or any clinical question the inputs don’t cover goes straight to a person, with the portal’s exact ask attached.
An imaging order with patient, payer, modality, site, and clinical information enters the queue
Determination back in your imaging queue
The authorization number or current status, the submission evidence, the payer's requirements in the portal's own wording, and the next scheduled re-check write back to your queue.
Question the chart doesn't answer: The run stops naming the portal's exact question (as with any medical-necessity review or peer-to-peer request), and your clinical team answers it once; a guessed answer would be a false clinical attestation.
The imaging questionnaire is where radiology PA goes wrong. Staff racing a queue click through it from memory; an agent constitutionally can’t. Every answer traces to a document you supplied, and anything that doesn’t exist in your inputs stops the run by name. Slower than guessing, and the only version of fast that survives an audit.
At scale
The submission discipline here is the same one running in production on payer portals today; the imaging-review portal build is in the catalogue pipeline. If imaging auths are your bottleneck, scoping against your RBM mix is the shortest path, and the prior authorization workflow library has the full set.
