Cashless Pre-Authorization Review Is Becoming a Hospital-TPA Bottleneck. AI Can Triage the Packet.

In Indian health insurance, the operational strain is increasingly concentrated in the pre-authorization review loop: medical notes, coverage checks, tariff logic, and missing documents all have to be interpreted under a compressed clock.
