The Problem

Healthcare is broken at the front door.

Every doctor visit starts over. Same paperwork. Same questions. Different clipboards. One doctor can't see what another has recorded. When a patient is healthy and sharp, it's manageable. When they're not — it's dangerous.

In the United States, the average patient has records scattered across 3–5 health systems with no link between them. Providers make decisions on incomplete information. Payers reject claims because the wrong patient ID was submitted. Prior authorizations take 3 days on average — delaying care, burning out physicians, and costing $14.50 in administrative overhead per transaction.

The identity layer is missing. Anam Health builds it.

Solutions

One platform. Three breakthroughs.

Anam Health's biometric identity token is the missing layer between EHR and AI — connecting patient data, coverage, and authorization into a single 30-second workflow.

Biometric Patient Identity

A fingerprint or face scan generates a unique FHIR Patient.identifier — the Anam token — that anchors to a patient permanently and resolves across all connected EHRs, eliminating duplicate records and identity errors forever.

  • Biometric-anchored FHIR token (patent pending)
  • Cross-EHR record linkage without PII sharing
  • Works with Epic, Cerner, athenahealth
  • Patient-controlled identity, not institution-controlled

Prior Authorization Automation

Anam Health implements Da Vinci PAS (Prior Authorization Support) to submit structured electronic PA requests and receive determinations in real time — transforming a 3-day fax process into a 30-second automated workflow.

  • Da Vinci PAS FHIR implementation guide
  • Real-time AI PA requirement prediction
  • CDS Hooks integration at point of order
  • Automatic clinical data attachment

Coverage Intelligence

Real-time eligibility verification at the point of scheduling or check-in confirms active coverage, plan type, deductible status, and co-pay obligations — eliminating claim surprises and improving patient financial experience.

  • Real-time eligibility across all major payers
  • Medicare Advantage + commercial plan support
  • Da Vinci CRD coverage requirement discovery
  • Integrates with existing RCM systems
How It Works

From unknown patient to authorized care in 30 seconds.

Anam Health's identity-first check-in workflow is fully FHIR-native and runs at the point of care, replacing clipboards, phone calls, and fax machines.

Biometric Capture

Patient scans fingerprint or face. Anam generates a unique cryptographic token — a permanent FHIR Patient.identifier that belongs to the patient, not any one institution.

Identity Resolution

The Anam token resolves the patient's unified medical record across all connected EHRs using SMART on FHIR — surfacing the complete clinical picture in under 5 seconds.

Coverage Confirmation

Real-time Da Vinci CRD check confirms active plan, co-pay, deductible, and prior authorization requirements for today's planned service — before the patient sits down.

PA Submission & Decision

If PA is required, Anam auto-submits the Da Vinci PAS FHIR request with pre-populated clinical data. Payer decision returns in seconds, not days. No fax. No phone call.

Caring for aging parents, we discovered a problem hiding in plain sight. Every doctor visit required starting over — the same paperwork, the same questions answered again, the same information that should already be there, missing.

Our father, navigating dementia through a cancer battle, couldn't always answer questions himself. Multiple siblings and caregivers stepping in to help. Each specialist had a piece of the picture. No one had the whole thing.

"One doctor often was unable to see the patient information from another doctor. When a patient is healthy and their memory is intact it may not be an issue — but with a father with dementia going through a cancer battle, it was often a challenge."

The frustration led us to explore why this was still unsolved. The answer: there is no universal patient identifier in the US healthcare system. Every health system creates their own. Records fragment. Data silos proliferate. Patients become strangers to each new provider.

We built Anam Health to fix that. A biometric token that belongs to the patient — not any institution — that anchors their identity, their records, and their coverage across every system they ever touch. Not replacing EHR. Connecting it to the future.

FAQ

Common questions.

Anam Health is a healthcare technology company that provides biometric patient identity verification and automated prior authorization. Often described as the "TSA PreCheck for going to the doctor," Anam's platform verifies who a patient is, confirms what they're covered for, and predicts prior authorization requirements — all in 30 seconds at the point of care. The company is based in Sylvania, Ohio and filed a provisional patent (Application #64/076,643) for its biometric patient token system in May 2026.
Anam Health uses biometric-first input to anchor the patient token — not demographic PII like name, date of birth, and address. Datavant and similar companies create tokens from demographic data, which fails when demographics change or are entered inconsistently across systems. A biometric is permanent and deterministic. The Anam token is also patient-controlled and clinically contextual, providing real-time coverage and prior authorization data alongside the identity signal.
Prior authorization automation uses software to replace the manual process of obtaining insurer approval before delivering a medical service. According to the AMA's 2024 Prior Authorization Physician Survey, 45% of all PA requests are still submitted by fax — a number that continues to grow year over year — delaying patient care and costing providers $14.50 per transaction. Anam Health automates prior authorization using the Da Vinci Prior Authorization Support (PAS) FHIR implementation guide, submitting structured clinical data electronically and receiving decisions in seconds rather than days.
Yes. Anam Health implements SMART on FHIR, CDS Hooks, and Da Vinci standards — all of which are supported natively by Epic. For Epic-based health systems, Anam Health can be provisioned directly by the IT team without requiring App Orchard certification for pilot deployments. Anam Health has registered a sandbox application on fhir.epic.com and supports Epic's EHR-initiated SMART launch flow.
Da Vinci is an HL7 project that creates FHIR implementation guides for payer-to-provider data exchange. Anam Health implements Da Vinci PAS (Prior Authorization Support) for automated PA submission, Da Vinci CRD (Coverage Requirements Discovery) via CDS Hooks for real-time coverage rules at the point of ordering, and Da Vinci DTR (Documentation Templates and Rules) for auto-populating clinical documentation. This makes Anam Health natively interoperable with any FHIR-compliant EHR or payer system.
The Anam token is a cryptographic identifier — the biometric is never stored or transmitted. The token contains zero PII. It is a pointer that resolves to the patient's record when the patient actively presents their biometric at the point of care. The platform is built on Supabase with a signed Business Associate Agreement (BAA), AES-256 encryption at rest, and TLS in transit. Patient identity control remains with the patient, not any institution.
Anam Health serves three primary audiences: (1) Health Systems and IDNs — eliminating duplicate records and providing biometric identity matching across facilities; (2) Health Plans and Payers — enabling real-time electronic prior authorization and reducing administrative costs; and (3) HCP Offices and Physician Groups — streamlining check-in, confirming coverage at scheduling, and eliminating claim surprises. The platform connects all three through a shared FHIR-native identity layer.
The Anam token is a cryptographic, biometric-anchored FHIR Patient.identifier — Anam Health's core innovation. When a patient presents their fingerprint or face at a care site, the biometric generates a deterministic, permanent token that serves as a universal patient identity signal. Unlike demographic-based tokens that break when a name or address changes, the Anam token is immutable. It contains zero PII, so no protected health information is stored in the token itself. The token travels across health systems, linking the patient's records wherever they receive care.
Manual prior authorization requires staff to gather clinical documentation, submit via fax or portal, and wait an average of 3.1 days for a response — while patient care is on hold. According to the AMA, physicians complete an average of 45 prior authorizations per week, consuming nearly 2 full business days of time. Anam Health eliminates these steps using Da Vinci PAS to submit structured electronic PA requests directly from the EHR, receiving real-time payer decisions in seconds. The biometric identity token also pre-populates patient demographics and coverage data, removing manual data entry entirely.
Anam Health is headquartered in Sylvania, Ohio (Toledo metro area), at 7152 Forest Brook Drive, Sylvania, OH 43560. The company is actively engaged with regional health systems and health information exchanges across the Midwest.
