Latitude Health

Latitude Health develops AI-native technology specifically designed for utilization management (UM) and prior authorization processes in healthcare organizations. The company's platform automates approximately 75% of manual UM tasks, targeting health plans, third-party administrators (TPAs), risk-bearing entities, independent review organizations (IROs), and workers' compensation organizations.

The platform features three core capabilities: AI-powered intake and triage with one-click case creation, automated clinical review processes, and performance insights dashboards. The company reports that clients typically achieve a 75% automation rate for manual tasks and can process 50% more review volume. The technology integrates with existing legacy systems and is designed to support current UM workflows rather than requiring process redesign.

Founded by Chuck Feerick (CEO) and Guru Nadiger (Chief Product & Technology Officer), Latitude Health leverages combined leadership experience from organizations including Aledade, Anthem, Availity, and Centene. The company maintains an advisory board of ten healthcare and technology experts with backgrounds in health plan operations, ACO management, and AI strategy.

Choose Latitude Health if your organization struggles with high manual workload in prior authorization and utilization management, particularly if you're seeking to maintain existing workflows while adding automation. The platform is designed for organizations ready to implement AI-driven decision support rather than simple task automation.

Expect a consultative engagement focused on workflow integration and configuration of triage rules to match your specific UM protocols. The company's emphasis on working alongside existing systems suggests implementation support for legacy technology environments common in payer organizations.

Latitude Health serves exclusively healthcare payer organizations and their service providers, with technology purpose-built for utilization management compliance requirements. The platform addresses specific payer needs including prior authorization processing, concurrent review, retrospective review, and appeals management. Target verticals include commercial health plans, Medicaid managed care organizations, Medicare Advantage plans, workers' compensation payers, TPAs managing UM services, and risk-bearing provider entities with delegated UM responsibilities.

The ideal client is a health plan, TPA, or delegated risk MSO with at least 1 million covered lives, experiencing bottlenecks in prior authorization processing and high operational costs from manual utilization review. Organizations with clinical staff stretched thin on routine reviews and seeking to redeploy resources to complex cases will benefit most from the platform's automation capabilities.
