Fix 1 of 4
Paper and fax
The form is printed, filled by hand and faxed. It is the way most physicians still do it.
- Slow
- Illegible or incomplete
- Inaccurate
- The most send-backs and denials
Still a cassette. The form never left the fax machine.
The clinical layer for prior authorization in Canada
Parseo Health reads the clinic notes, medication lists and lab results you already have, completes the insurer's form, and sends it. From chart to insurer in minutes.
What broke
Prior authorization used to mean an occasional form for a rare drug. Obesity medications made it routine, and the paper process never changed.
Clinical notes
Your scribe streams.
Dictated, transcribed and in the chart before the patient leaves. 22 of the 30 family physicians we surveyed use one.
Prior authorization forms
The form still runs on cassette.
Tracked down, printed, filled by hand and faxed. 74% of physicians still fax it; 3% use an insurer portal.
The current way
The form still travels by hand.
Denied. Start again.

What has been tried
Even the electronic ones. Each still sends a person digging through the chart and typing the answers in by hand: slow, with no automation, and open to human error, a missed checkbox, a wrong fax number. It wastes clinical time, it delays care, and it is bad medicine. The form needs automation.

Still a cassette. The form never left the fax machine.
Where the fix belongs
The patient, the physician and the clinic
The form fills from the note during the visit, and the patient signs by link the same day.
We can't wait for a standard or a program. The patient, the physician and the clinic can start now.
The fix
Parseo reads the chart and completes the insurer's current form, so every party downstream receives a complete file the first time.

Each recipient receives only its own part of the request. The chart itself never travels.
Form coverage
All company names and trademarks are the property of their respective owners. Their appearance indicates only that Parseo supports their publicly available forms; no partnership or endorsement is implied.
Built for PHIA and PIPEDA. End-to-end encrypted, clinical records stored in Canada, only de-identified text sent to the AI model, and every access written to a tamper-evident audit log you can export yourself.
Built on FHIR R4, the standard behind Canada's interoperability work, with 1,000+ clinical concepts bound to Canadian code systems: ICD-10-CA, SNOMED CT, DIN, ATC and LOINC. Ready for electronic exchange when an insurer is.
1,700+ insurer and public plan forms are onboarded, each mapped question by question. Missing one? Upload your copy and Parseo builds it in.
Better care around the form
Review instead of fill. Parseo completes what the chart already says, leaves the rest for you, and follows the request to the insurer's reply.
A sooner start on the therapy their physician chose. Patients answer what only they know and sign on their phone, and renewal dates are tracked so treatment continues without a gap.
A file you can adjudicate: your current form, every required field answered or shown as a gap, values checked against your criteria, both signatures, delivery confirmed. Nothing to install.
Fewer eligible patients lost at the form. A connected program receives the finished, signed forms and returns the decision, on the same terms for every drug and every manufacturer.
Independent by design
Every form reports what the chart shows and nothing guessed, leaves the same day, and serves the therapy the physician and patient chose. On everything else, Parseo stays neutral.
Drug-agnostic
Every drug is treated the same. No manufacturer shapes the file.
Payer- and EMR-agnostic
One tool for every insurer and any chart system.
No payment that steers
Any partner funding is disclosed and never tied to the drug a physician chooses.
Criteria respected
Forms report what the chart shows. Nothing is overstated to win an approval.
How it is paid for
Physicians are paid for the work
A disclosed, flat fee for each form, for work that has been unpaid until now. Never a subscription, never a percentage, and care never depends on anyone paying.
Partners connect on identical terms
An insurer, public plan or support program that receives the file electronically pays for the connection: per form delivered, or a flat year. One price list for everyone.
Nobody buys a better path for a drug
Nothing is paid per prescription, per start or on approval. Partner money pays for the rail, never the choice.
