RFA Assist · an Extrencity, Inc product
Appeal utilization-review denials with arguments that have already won.
RFA Assist is built and operated by Extrencity, Inc. When a Request for Authorization comes back denied, it drafts the appeal for you — grounding each argument in Independent Medical Review decisions where comparable treatment requests were ultimately approved, so providers can push back on improper denials without losing a day of clinic time.
What it does
Understands the denialTakes in the utilization-review denial, the original RFA, and the supporting chart material to map exactly what was refused and why.
Finds winning precedentSearches historical IMR outcomes for situations that mirror yours — same treatment class, similar clinical picture, denial overturned.
Drafts the appealAssembles a structured response that pairs guideline support with analogous IMR results, ready for the physician to refine and sign.
Shows its sourcesGuideline references and precedent citations are attached to the draft, so nothing has to be taken on faith before it goes out.
Who it serves
- Workers' compensation treating physicians whose medically necessary requests keep getting denied.
- Practice managers and authorization staff who currently write appeals by hand under deadline pressure.
- Clinics that want a consistent, defensible appeal process instead of one that depends on who is available that week.
AI disclosure
RFA Assist drafts are AI-generated and are always reviewed, edited, and signed by a licensed physician before submission. Cited sources are verifiable, and the treating provider — not the software — makes the final clinical judgment.
Bring us a recent denial and we'll show you what an RFA Assist appeal looks like for that exact case.
