Humata Health has announced plans to make its AI-powered prior authorization technology available within Microsoft Dragon Copilot, expanding access to automated authorization tools for clinicians.

The integration aims to help healthcare providers streamline key administrative processes, reduce documentation workload, and improve patient access to timely care.

According to the company, offering its technology through Dragon Copilot will allow clinicians to use prior authorization capabilities directly within their existing workflows. The solution is designed to maximize current technology investments while minimizing the need for additional IT infrastructure. By surfacing actionable insights and automation during care delivery, the platform is expected to support more informed and efficient decision-making at the point of care.

The collaboration is also expected to enhance documentation quality and workflow efficiency by reducing manual data entry, contributing to improved compliance and patient outcomes.

“We are at an extraordinary moment in the technology landscape, where AI is reshaping industries and transforming how we work,” said Dr. Jeremy Friese, Founder and CEO of Humata Health. “By offering our innovation directly within Dragon Copilot, we are empowering clinicians to dedicate more of their time and energy to their patients, rather than administrative tasks. Our goal is to unlock greater value from the platform by enabling seamless clinical documentation review workflows for every user.”

Peter Durlach, CVP and Chief Strategy Officer, Microsoft Health & Life Sciences, said: “This integration by Humata Health showcases the transformative potential of Dragon Copilot’s extensibility. By seamlessly extending AI apps and agents into our ambient-powered solution, we are helping our shared customers streamline clinical and administrative tasks, ultimately reducing provider burden, enhancing financial integrity and increasing productivity across the health system.”

Humata Health describes itself as a physician-led company specializing in AI-powered touchless prior authorizations. Its platform integrates clinical data for faster approvals across healthcare services and procedures. The company is backed by investors including BlueVenture Fund, LRVHealth, Optum Ventures, .406 Ventures, and Highmark Ventures.
