Built for healthcare professionals
Your referral network gets a polished industry brief every week. You spend 60 seconds.
Pick the topics your network cares about — policy changes, reimbursement trends, clinical practice updates. We research, write, and format a branded briefing that goes out on your schedule. Your network stays informed. You stay top-of-mind.
Here's what your audience sees every week:
Issue #14. Your colleagues think you spent the weekend reading CMS rule summaries.
Trusted by professionals at
“I forwarded the brief to our medical staff and three department heads asked if we could make it a standing agenda item at our monthly meetings. It's become our go-to source for industry context.”
“A referring physician told me he looks forward to my industry updates every week. It's completely changed the dynamic of our referral relationship — I'm not just a specialist, I'm a resource.”
The industry update you keep meaning to send
Every healthcare leader knows they should keep their network informed about policy changes, reimbursement trends, and industry shifts. And every healthcare leader hits the same wall: who has time to write a polished industry update when you're seeing patients, managing staff, and navigating payer contracts?
"I promised our medical staff I'd send monthly policy updates. I sent one after the Medicare fee schedule dropped. That was six months ago."
"I read Becker's, Modern Healthcare, and MGMA reports every week — but I never have time to synthesize it into something my referral network would actually read."
"A referring physician told me they started sending patients to a competitor who 'keeps us better informed about industry changes.' Our outcomes are better. Our communication isn't."
SendSignal makes it automatic. Set a topic, pick a schedule, and your network gets a polished, branded industry brief that looks like you spent your weekend reading CMS regulations. Every week. Without fail.
What happens when your network doesn't hear from you
The average healthcare administrator spends 3–5 hours per week staying current on industry changes — reading CMS updates, scanning payer bulletins, monitoring legislative developments. At a blended rate of $100/hour, that's $1,200–2,000/month in your time alone.
And that's just the reading. Writing it up in a format your medical staff and referral network would actually read and act on? Most practices default to forwarding raw CMS notices with no context.
The result: physicians who are blindsided by reimbursement changes, referral partners who drift to practices that 'keep them in the loop,' and a practice that reacts to industry shifts instead of anticipating them.
SendSignal costs less than a single hour of your time. And it runs every week whether you're in clinic or on vacation.

Prior Authorization Reform Is Finally Moving — Here's What It Means for Your Practice
Quick Take
After years of advocacy, meaningful prior authorization reform is advancing in Congress and at the payer level simultaneously. The Improving Seniors' Timely Access to Care Act cleared the Senate HELP committee, while UnitedHealthcare — the largest commercial payer — announced it will eliminate prior auth for 20% of outpatient procedures. For practices, the operational implications are significant: reduced administrative burden, faster care delivery, and potentially fewer denied claims.
Context
Prior authorization has been the top administrative burden cited by physicians for eight consecutive years in the AMA's annual survey. The average practice spends 14 hours per physician per week on prior auth — equivalent to nearly two full FTEs for a five-physician group. The financial cost is estimated at $31 per prior auth transaction, adding up to $93,000 annually for a mid-size practice. Reform has stalled repeatedly in Congress, but 2026 appears to be different: CMS issued a final rule requiring Medicare Advantage plans to respond to prior auth requests within 72 hours (down from 14 days), and commercial payers are voluntarily reducing requirements under political pressure.
Key Highlights
- •Senate HELP committee passed prior auth reform bill with bipartisan support requiring electronic prior auth, 72-hour response times, and 'gold carding' for providers with 90%+ approval rates
- •UnitedHealthcare eliminating prior auth for 20% of outpatient procedures effective July 1 — the largest single voluntary reduction by a commercial payer
- •Average practice spends $93,000/year on prior auth administration per MGMA — equivalent to 1.5 FTEs of staff time dedicated entirely to payer authorization requests
- •CMS final rule reduces MA prior auth response time to 72 hours down from 14 days — effective January 2027 for all Medicare Advantage plans
What To Watch
The full Senate vote is expected in April. If it passes, the bill moves to conference committee, with final legislation possible by year-end. Also watch for Cigna and Aetna announcements — industry sources suggest both are preparing voluntary prior auth reductions to preempt legislative mandates. MGMA's annual cost survey drops in May with updated administrative burden data.

Frequently asked questions
Is the content clinically accurate?
SendSignal generates healthcare industry and policy commentary — not clinical guidance or medical advice. The briefs cover reimbursement trends, regulatory changes, and industry developments. All claims are source-cited from CMS, medical associations, and industry publications. We recommend having a clinician review the first brief to confirm it meets your standards.
What sources does it pull from?
Each brief draws from CMS announcements, medical association publications, healthcare industry reports, and policy analyses — AMA, MGMA, CMS Federal Register, Modern Healthcare, Becker's, and more. Every claim is linked to its source for verification.
Will my referral partners know it's AI-generated?
No. Briefs are branded with your name and practice identity. The writing styles are designed to feel human and authoritative — not like AI output. Your colleagues will think you have a dedicated policy research team.
Can I focus on my specialty or practice area?
Yes. Create briefs focused on any area — orthopedic reimbursement trends, cardiology prior auth updates, primary care policy changes, or mental health parity regulations. Each brief has its own topic, so you can send different content to different audiences.
Is this appropriate for sharing with patients?
The briefs are designed for professional audiences — physicians, administrators, and healthcare leaders. For patient communication, you'd want to create a separate brief with a more accessible topic and writing style. Some practices create one brief for their referral network and another for patient education.
Can I send different briefs to different audiences?
Yes. Create separate briefs for different stakeholders — one for referring physicians about clinical and regulatory developments, another for your administrative team about operational and reimbursement trends. Each brief has its own topic, schedule, and audience list.
Is there a free trial?
We don't do free trials because the product doesn't make sense without seeing a real brief. Instead, you can generate a free sample on any topic before you pay anything. If the sample impresses you, pick a plan. If it doesn't, no hard feelings.
Your referral network is waiting to hear from you. This week.
Not next quarter. Not after the next CMS update. Your first industry brief takes 60 seconds to set up — and it'll keep showing up every week after that. No credit card required for your sample.
