PHOENIX – Parachute Health has launched a new initiative designed to strengthen collaboration between home medical equipment (HME) providers and health plans through a unified digital authorization workflow. Parachute's collaborative workflow brings authorization directly into the order management experience providers already use. "This is an industry shift," said David Gelbard, CEO. "Nearly a decade ago, e-prescribing helped HME providers get paid faster by ensuring clinicians submitted clean, structured orders. Today, we're extending that same principle to authorization." Instead of navigating external portals or relying on repeated phone follow-ups, HME providers can submit authorization requests digitally, track real-time status updates, and tie authorizations back to the original order – reducing preventable rework and improving payment visibility, Parachute says. The initiative builds on the company’s existing e-prescribing and AI Intake capabilities, which unify digital and fax-based orders into a single workflow.
