The process

From submission to approval in four steps

01
Submit the case
Use our online portal or Chrome extension. Takes under 3 minutes. We auto-fill from your EMR where possible.
02
Clinical review
Our PA reviews the case, verifies step therapy documentation, and prepares a complete submission package within 2 business hours.
03
Payer submission
We submit electronically via CoverMyMeds, FHIR API, or payer portal — with payer-specific criteria matched for maximum approval odds.
04
Decision & follow-up
We track the decision and notify you immediately. If denied, we initiate the appeal process and schedule peer-to-peer calls on your behalf.

Why Visional

Derm-specific expertise
that generalists can't match

Most PA services are generalists. We're built exclusively for dermatology — which means we know the step therapy requirements, payer quirks, and clinical criteria that get cases approved.

PA-led clinical review
Every case reviewed by a licensed PA with hands-on dermatology experience — not an offshore data entry team.
2-hour review turnaround
Cases reviewed and submitted same business day. No backlogs, no missed deadlines.
Full appeals management
Denial isn't the end. We handle the full appeal lifecycle including peer-to-peer scheduling and letter writing.
Works with any EMR
Our Chrome extension works alongside Epic, Athena, Modernizing Medicine, Nextech, and any web-based EMR.
