Hindsait Joins CMS Health Tech Initiative

Hindsait, Inc., a pioneering company in healthcare intelligence, has recently received approval for its inclusion in the Electronic Prior Authorization category of the CMS Health Tech Ecosystem. This development signifies a critical step in streamlining prior authorization processes within the US healthcare system. As part of this initiative, Hindsait will collaborate with the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) to enhance the interoperability of prior authorization ahead of the forthcoming requirements set to take effect in 2027.

The challenge of prior authorization has long been a source of frustration in American healthcare. According to Pinaki Dasgupta, the Founder and CEO of Hindsait, the recognition from CMS is validation of their approach to utilizing artificial intelligence to augment clinical decisions rather than replace them. The goal is to ensure that prior authorization determinations are made more quickly, with greater consistency, and are fully auditable.

Hindsait’s technology has already demonstrated notable success in real-world applications. For instance, their platform is currently operational at the Wisconsin Physicians Service (WPS), which is a leading Medicare Administrative Contractor. Here, it has effectively reduced the time taken for prior authorization processing by an impressive 53%. This data was substantiated in a joint white paper published with WPS Health, highlighting the tangible benefits of Hindsait's solutions.

What differentiates Hindsait from other technology providers is its commitment to maintaining data integrity and privacy. The company's system is not merely an extension of existing models; instead, it relies on proprietary clinical models trained on over 100 million real protected health information (PHI) records from across the US healthcare landscape. This careful approach guarantees that sensitive health data remains secure within a controlled US environment, allowing for predictable costs and auditable decisions—not leaving users to navigate a black box of data processing.

With over a decade of experience in implementing prior authorization technology, Hindsait has achieved significant certifications, including HITRUST CSF and SOC 2 Type II audits, affirming its commitment to safety and compliance. The company was also recognized as a Representative Vendor in a 2026 Gartner report focused on Intelligent Prior Authorization, highlighting its leadership in this evolving field.

Founded in 2013 and based in Hackensack, New Jersey, Hindsait aims to serve a diverse clientele including health plans, payers, Medicare Administrative Contractors, and healthcare providers. Their platforms are designed to ease administrative burdens while simultaneously enhancing the speed and consistency of prior authorization determinations. The incorporation into the CMS Health Tech Ecosystem marks a significant milestone in their journey to redefine efficiency in healthcare processes.
