Prior authorizations, run by our team.
Your billing, streamlined in our software. Keep managing it yourself, or have us take it over. Valian’s team handles prior authorizations for practices: we file the request with the payer, track it, follow up until there is an answer, and keep every status on one screen next to the patient’s coverage and claims. Your team sees where each one stands without calling. Start with a free 15-minute billing review.

Your billing, streamlined in our software.

Keep managing it yourself
Your team bills in Valian.
Checks, claims, EOBs and patient balances sit on one screen, so less of the day goes to portals and hold music. You keep the practice software you run today.
Have us take it over
Our team works your claims.
We send them, follow them up, post the payments and work the denials, all inside Valian. You see every claim and every dollar, every day, without asking.
Prior authorization is one part of billing. Here are all eleven.
An approval protects the claim that comes after it.
Front office
E-check-in
Early accessPatients fill in their forms and add their insurance card before the visit, so the front desk starts the day with clean information.
E-verification
LiveCheck a patient in one click: more than 1,100 payers answer in seconds with active or not, deductible, copay and coinsurance, saved on the patient with the date.
Prior authorization
Run by our teamWhen a payer wants a prior authorization, our team files it, tracks it and follows up until there is an answer. You see where each one stands.
E-payments
Early accessKnow what each patient owes from that day’s check, record what they pay at the desk, and keep every open balance in one list. Card payments are being set up with our first offices.
Patient financing
Early accessA way for patients to spread a larger balance over time, offered from the same screen. We are adding financing partners now.
Back office
Coding checks
LiveYour doctor picks the codes. Valian checks every claim against the payer’s rules before it goes: diagnosis and procedure pairs, modifiers, required fields and the filing window.
Claims and billing
LiveBuild the claim from the visit and send it electronically. Valian reviews every claim before it goes, so a missing detail is fixed before the payer sees it.
Payment posting
LiveWhen the carrier pays, Valian posts the EOB to the claim, shows what the plan paid and what the patient owes, and follows the payment to your bank.
Collections follow-up
LiveValian asks the carrier where every open claim stands, on its own, so nothing sits unpaid because nobody called. Patient balances wait in one list until they are paid.
Appeals and denials
LiveA denial shows the carrier’s reason in plain words and the fix. Correct it and send it again from the same page; a corrected claim goes as a correction, never a duplicate.
E-reporting
LiveBilled, with the carrier, paid, denied: every claim and every dollar on one screen, each with its whole history from the visit to the deposit.
Live = running for offices today. Run by our team = our people do it for you. Early access = being set up with our first offices.
From request to answer.
What our team does with every prior authorization.
Filed with the payer
Our team files the request with the details from your office: the patient, the plan, the service and the reason.
Followed up on a schedule
Nobody has to remember to call. Each open request is followed up until the payer answers.
Faxes still handled
Some payers still answer by fax. Your office gets a Valian fax number, so the answer lands with the request it belongs to.
Next to the coverage and the claim
The approval sits on the patient’s page with the insurance check and the claim it protects.
Payers we follow up with.

How starting works.
Six steps, from a 15-minute review to your first claims.
- 1
A free 15-minute review
By video, or at your office in New Jersey. We look at how billing runs today and show you the screen your claims would live on.
- 2
Sign the agreements
The Business Associate Agreement and the billing agreement are signed in the dashboard, before any patient data moves.
- 3
Connect what you run today
We will connect Valian to the system you run today, so your patients and visits come across. Nobody switches practice software.
- 4
Add your fees and codes
Take a picture of your fee list. Valian reads it twice and keeps only the codes both reads agree on.
- 5
Carrier sign-ups
Some carriers want a sign-up before claims and EOBs come through Valian. We file them, and any step that needs your office shows up in the dashboard.
- 6
Your first claims
New visits go through Valian from the day you start. Claims your current biller already sent can finish where they are, so nothing goes out twice.
What practices ask about prior authorizations.
Who files the prior authorization?
Our team does, using the details from your office. You see each request and its status in Valian.
Do you handle prior authorizations for any specialty?
Yes. The work is the same in every specialty: the right request to the right payer, followed until there is an answer.
What if the payer answers by fax?
Your office gets a Valian fax number for payers that still answer by fax, so the answer lands with the request.
Do we have to replace our billing team?
No. Keep managing billing yourself and your team gets one screen for every check, claim, EOB and patient balance. Or have our team take it over. You can start one way and change later.
What does it cost?
We set your price with you after the review, based on how many claims you send. Nothing is charged until you agree to it.
Is patient data handled the HIPAA way?
Yes. The Business Associate Agreement is signed before any patient data moves. Data is encrypted in transit and at rest, and access is logged.
