Vermillion AI AI-Powered Prior Authorization
Forms Analytics Platform

Platform Overview

How Vermillion AI extracts clinical data and auto-fills Canadian prior authorization forms — built for Ontario, architected for scale.

PHIPA Compliant
PIPEDA Compliant
Data Processed in Ontario, Canada

The Problem

Canadian reimbursement specialists spend 20–30 minutes per patient manually transcribing clinical data from clinic notes, lab reports, and spirometry results into insurance prior authorization forms. Every insurer has its own form with different layouts, field names, and requirements — a major administrative bottleneck to patient access for specialty medications.

The Solution

Vermillion AI extracts patient, prescriber, and clinical data directly from uploaded clinical documents and auto-fills insurance PA forms. A 30-minute manual task becomes a 30-second workflow, with the specialist retaining review-and-approve control over every field.

How It Works

01
Upload
User uploads PDFs of clinic notes, lab reports, and spirometry results.
02
Extract
Digital text extraction with OCR fallback identifies patient demographics, prescriber info, insurance details, clinical values (eosinophils, FEV1, FVC, IgE, exacerbations), and treatment history.
03
Map
A semantic mapping layer matches extracted data to insurer-specific PDF fields, reformatting dates, names, and checkboxes to each insurer's conventions.
04
Review
User verifies auto-populated values in a clean web interface, correcting anything that needs adjustment before finalization.
05
Fill
Completed PA form PDF is generated and downloaded, ready to submit to the insurer.

Why It Matters

Time Savings
30 minutes → 30 seconds per PA submission. 33× faster than manual form completion.
Scale Economics
Adding new drugs or insurers is a mapping exercise, not a rebuild. Margins improve with every addition.
Defensibility
The moat isn't the tech — it's the mapped knowledge of every field on every insurer's form, built one form at a time.
Ontario-First Positioning
PHIPA compliance from day one positions cleanly for expansion to other Canadian provinces with similar privacy regimes.
