FAQ

The questions procurement always asks.

Do you charge for denials?

No. Per-approved-auth means you only pay when Authora approves a request. Denials, pends, and referrals are free.

What is the exit fee?

None. 30-day notice.

Can we white-label?

Available at the Enterprise tier.

Do you offer shared-savings pricing?

Yes, at the Enterprise tier, by negotiation.

What payment terms?

Net 30. Invoiced monthly.

Is there a year-one minimum commitment?

No minimums in year one. After year one, customers typically negotiate a 12-month term for the volume discount.
