Question 1

Does Linda replace my receptionist?

Accepted Answer

No. Linda handles the high-volume, repetitive call layer so your human staff can focus on patients in the office, clinical coordination, and the calls that genuinely require a person.

Question 2

What languages does Linda support?

Accepted Answer

Linda is multilingual and handles calls in multiple languages without a separate interpreter line.

Question 3

How does Linda handle urgent or clinical calls?

Accepted Answer

Linda escalates immediately. Any call flagged as urgent or requiring clinical input goes directly to the appropriate staff member in real time.

Question 4

How long does setup take?

Accepted Answer

Most clinics are live in a matter of days. Linda integrates with your existing EHR. No migration required.

Question 5

What if I am not satisfied?

Accepted Answer

TriFetch offers a money-back guarantee. You can trial Linda risk-free.

Question 6

Does it integrate with your EHR?

Accepted Answer

PA automation that requires staff to manually transfer data from the EHR to the submission platform saves only a fraction of the time. Look for native integration with athenahealth, NextGen, eClinicalWorks, or whatever system you use.

Question 7

Does it handle your specialty's payer mix?

Accepted Answer

Ophthalmology PA requirements differ from cardiology PA requirements differ from PT re-authorization. A generalist platform may not have the payer-specific rules for your specialty.

Question 8

What happens on denial?

Accepted Answer

Some platforms automate submission but stop there. Full automation includes tracking, alerts, and appeals.

Question 9

Is it HIPAA compliant and does it sign a BAA?

Accepted Answer

Yes. TriFetch is HIPAA compliant and signs a Business Associate Agreement (BAA) with every clinic. Any platform handling prior authorization data is handling PHI, so this is non-negotiable on both sides.

Question 10

What is the average time savings from prior authorization automation?

Accepted Answer

Most specialty clinics recover 10 to 16 hours of staff time per week per physician after full PA automation deployment.

Does prior auth automation work with my EHR?

Accepted Answer

TriFetch integrates with athenahealth, NextGen, eClinicalWorks, Oracle Health, and other major EHR systems. No migration required.

Question 12

What happens when a prior authorization is denied?

Accepted Answer

TriFetch automatically generates the appeal, attaches the appropriate documentation, and resubmits. Staff are notified only for denials that require physician escalation.

How long does it take to set up PA automation?

Accepted Answer

Most TriFetch clients are live within days. The system reads from your existing EHR. There is no data migration.

Contact TriFetch for pricing. Most clients see full cost recovery within the first month from staff time savings and recovered revenue.
