ProblemOphthalmology ASC staff spend 15-25 minutes per case manually tracking prior auth, medical clearance, IOL pre-cert, and patient financials across separate systems. 3.6M US cataract surgeries/year, and 12-18% of scheduled cases get bumped or cancelled because something in the chain was missed.
SolutionA read-only clearance board that ingests the surgery schedule from any ophthalmology EMR or ASC system and flags which patients are truly ready for surgery and which still have a blocker. No workflow changes for surgeons. No new data entry for staff.
Market opportunity5,800+ ophthalmology ASCs in the US performing 3.6M cataract surgeries/year. At $200-400/month per surgeon, that's a $14-28M SAM. Ophthalmology EMR market is $2.5B and growing at 10% CAGR, but no incumbent owns the pre-op clearance layer between scheduling and the OR.
