HOUSTON, Sept. 4, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Elevate Health Technologies, a leading healthcare technology company delivering innovative solutions to healthcare providers, patients, pharmaceutical manufacturers and payors, today announced a strategic collaboration with D2 Solutions to enhance prior authorization capabilities within its OnePulse Connect platform. This partnership addresses one of healthcare’s most persistent administrative challenges, helping patients access critical medications faster while reducing provider burden.
Streamlining Prior Authorizations Through Integrated Technology
Prior authorizations create significant delays in specialty pharmaceutical care, often requiring extensive staff resources. Traditional prior authorization solutions fail to bridge communication gaps between pharmacies and healthcare practices, neglecting to solve the most major cause of costly therapy delays. The enhanced OnePulse Connect platform—already trusted by healthcare practices nationwide for buy-and-bill, inventory management, Medically Integrated Dispensing (MID), and In-Office Infusion (IOI) services—now integrates D2 Solutions’ proprietary prior authorization technology, UltraTouch® Verify, directly into clinical workflows.
The collaboration enables healthcare providers to initiate and manage prior authorizations seamlessly within their existing systems, expediting approvals. In fact, healthcare practices utilizing D2’s UltraTouch Verify technology experienced an average prior authorization approval time of less than 22 hoursi as compared to a 2.1 dayii industry average for specialty medications and up to 30 days for complex cases, as well as an up-to 96% approval rate across all first-time submissionsiii.
The best-in-class solution also includes dedicated Prior Authorization Certified Specialists® who function as an extension of care teams, supporting:
- Streamlined Operations: Integrated workflows that reduce administrative burden
- Accelerated Approvals: Faster therapy initiation, minimizing revenue-impacting delays
- Performance Analytics: Real-time tracking of approval rates, appeals success, and payer response times
Commitment to Patient Care Excellence
“Prior authorizations often stand between patients and starting therapy as intended,” said Craig Mears, Chief Executive Officer at Elevate Health Technologies. “We’re excited to partner with D2 Solutions to address this critical issue directly within our platform, ensuring specialty patients can begin treatment without unnecessary delays.”
Dean Erhardt, CEO & Founder of D2 Solutions, added: “Partnering with Elevate Health Technologies is consistent with our mission to enable stakeholders, in this case providers, to increase efficiency while ensuring patients have timely access to life-saving medications. We’re thrilled to integrate our prior authorization solution with their established platform – bringing true innovation to the market.”
The collaboration represents a shared commitment to empowering healthcare providers to focus on what matters most: delivering exceptional patient care while improving health outcomes through faster access to specialized therapies.
