AI for ASC Coordinator
Every surgical case needs a prior authorization, denials require 45–60 minutes each to appeal, and pre-op instruction packets have to be customized by procedure and surgeon preference for every patient on the schedule. These guides show you how to draft LMN templates, generate appeal letters with medical necessity language, and produce procedure-specific patient instructions in a fraction of the time — so the paperwork stops blocking the cases.

A formal, professional reminder letter to a physician notifying them of an upcoming credentialing expiration — with a checklist of documents needed for renewal.
Write a credentialing reminder letter to Dr. [name] at [practice name]. Their [DEA registration / state medical license / board certification / malpractice insurance] expires on [date]. We need renewal documentation by [due date — 30 days before expiry]. Include a checklist of what to submit.
View full prompt →Tip: For bulk reminders, list multiple physicians and expiring items in one prompt and ask it to draft a separate letter for each. Add "Address this to the office manager, not the physician" if that's who actually handles credentialing paperwork at that practice.
A plain-English explanation of what an insurance denial code means, why the claim was denied, and exactly what steps to take to fix it or appeal.
Explain insurance denial code [code, e.g., CO-15, PR-96, CO-50, N130] in plain English. What does it mean? Why does it happen? What are the steps to fix it or appeal? This is for an ambulatory surgery center claim.
View full prompt →Tip: When a claim has multiple denial codes, list them all in one prompt — "CO-15 and PR-26 together" — since the combination often changes the recommended next steps. Use the action plan as a starting point; the specific fix still depends on your center's records.
A draft Letter of Medical Necessity (LMN) for the physician to review and sign — written to address the specific coverage criteria the insurance company uses for that procedure.
Draft a Letter of Medical Necessity for [procedure name, CPT code] for a [age, sex] patient. Diagnosis: [diagnosis]. Insurance company: [payer name]. Clinical findings: [key findings — symptoms, exam results, imaging]. Prior treatments tried: [list]. Why surgery is now necessary: [brief rationale].
View full prompt →Tip: If the payer has a published clinical policy for this procedure, paste the medical necessity criteria into the prompt and ask the AI to address each one explicitly. "Failed conservative treatment" documentation is the most common denial trigger — always include it if applicable.
A professionally formatted prior authorization appeal letter citing medical necessity that you can review, personalize with clinical details, and send to the insurance company.
Draft a prior authorization appeal letter for [patient age, sex] needing [procedure name, CPT code]. Payer is [insurance company]. Denial reason: [denial reason or code]. Diagnosis: [ICD-10 code or description]. Include medical necessity language and request expedited review.
View full prompt →Tip: If the letter feels too generic, add more clinical specifics: "Failed 3 months of PT, BMI 42, KOOS score 34." Always have the physician review and sign before submitting — the more clinical detail they add, the stronger the appeal.
A set of professional confirmation emails to implant and equipment vendor reps — one per rep — confirming tomorrow's cases and the specific products needed.
Write confirmation emails to the following vendor reps for tomorrow's OR cases at [ASC name]: 1. [Rep name, company]: [procedure, surgeon, time, specific implant/product needed] 2. [Rep name, company]: [procedure, surgeon, time, specific implant/product needed] 3. [Rep name, company]: [procedure, surgeon, time, specific implant/product needed] Keep each email brief and professional. Include our OR start time and request delivery confirmation.
View full prompt →Tip: Add "Include a reminder that the rep must be credentialed in [VendorMate/Reptrax] before entering the facility" to automate that standard ask. Save this prompt in a notes app — you'll reuse it every afternoon with just the case details swapped out.
A structured talking points script for the physician to use during a peer-to-peer review call with the insurance company's medical director — so they walk in prepared instead of winging it.
Write a peer-to-peer review talking points script for Dr. [name] calling [insurance company] about a denied [procedure] for a [age, sex] patient. Denial reason: [denial reason]. Key clinical facts: [diagnosis, relevant history, why surgery is necessary]. The goal is to get the authorization approved.
View full prompt →Tip: Add "Reference [specialty society] clinical practice guidelines for this procedure" — citing AAOS, AAO-HNS, or the relevant society guideline by name gives the physician a specific authority to invoke on the call. Print the script; most peer-to-peer reviews are under 10 minutes.
A critical review of your prior authorization letter or documentation — identifying weak points, missing medical necessity language, and likely payer objections before you submit.
Review this prior authorization request for [procedure, CPT code] submitted to [insurance company]. Identify: 1) Any missing medical necessity documentation, 2) Weak or vague clinical language that might trigger a denial, 3) Any criteria from [insurance company]'s policy that isn't addressed, 4) Specific improvements to make before submitting. [Paste the authorization letter or clinical notes below.]
View full prompt →Tip: The more payer-specific context you provide, the more useful the feedback — mention the payer's name and any known denial patterns they have with this procedure type. Use this on cases you're uncertain about, not just routine submissions.
Three separate notifications — for the surgeon's office, the patient, and your OR team — all drafted from a single prompt when a case is cancelled, delayed, or rescheduled.
A case has been [cancelled / pushed / added]. Details: Dr. [name], [procedure], originally scheduled [original time], [reason for change]. Write three notifications: 1) for the surgeon's office, 2) for the patient, 3) for our OR and nursing staff. Keep each brief and professional.
View full prompt →Tip: Add "And write a 4th message for the anesthesia provider" if they need separate notification. Include the reason for the change in your prompt — "implant not delivered" and "patient failed medical clearance" produce very different patient-facing messages.
A plain-English summary of exactly what a specific insurance company requires to approve a given procedure — extracted from their clinical policy PDF so you don't have to read 40 pages yourself.
Here is [insurance company]'s clinical policy for [procedure / CPT code]. [Paste the relevant policy text below.] Summarize: 1) What conditions must be met for approval, 2) What documentation is required, 3) What will trigger a denial, 4) What the appeal process is.
View full prompt →Tip: For long policy documents, Claude handles more text at once than other tools — paste up to 10–15 pages if needed. Save the summaries you generate in a shared folder; you'll refer back to them every time you submit a case for that payer.
A concise meeting summary with clearly identified action items, owners, and deadlines — ready to share with staff or save to your records.
Summarize this meeting transcript (or my rough notes) into: 1) A 3–5 sentence summary of what was discussed, 2) A bulleted list of action items with the person responsible and deadline for each, 3) Any decisions that were made. [Paste transcript or rough notes below.]
View full prompt →Tip: Rough bullet-point notes work just as well as a full transcript — paste what you have and the AI fills in the structure. Send the summary to attendees within an hour of the meeting while follow-up tasks are still fresh.
A clear, accurate Spanish translation of your pre-op instruction letter — written in plain, everyday language that non-medical Spanish-speaking patients can easily understand.
Translate the following pre-operative instruction letter into Spanish. Use plain, everyday language — not medical jargon. The patient is not a medical professional. Keep the same structure and all the important details. [Paste your English pre-op letter here.]
View full prompt →Tip: The same prompt works for any language — just swap "Spanish" for Tagalog, Vietnamese, Mandarin, or Portuguese. If any phrasing feels unnatural after review, add "Simplify any awkward sentences" as a follow-up before printing.
A clear, patient-friendly pre-operative instruction letter covering everything the patient needs to know before their surgery day — written at a reading level patients can understand.
Write a pre-op instruction letter for a [patient age, sex] having [procedure] at [ASC name] on [date] at [time]. NPO after [time]. Hold [medications]. Bring [items]. Ride required: [yes/no]. Include what to wear, what to leave home, and when to call us.
View full prompt →Tip: Add "Translate this into plain Spanish" to get a bilingual version in one step. Always verify the medication hold instructions match your surgeon's exact protocol before sending — that's the part most likely to need a manual edit.
