Basalt Health
Basalt Health provides an AI-powered platform that reads post-acute care referral packets the moment they arrive—whether faxed, scanned, or handwritten—and checks them against a facility's specific admission criteria. The platform flags each finding red, yellow, or green with citations to the exact source line, enabling clinicians to make faster, defensible admit decisions. Basalt is live at Lifepoint Health, where it reduced median chart processing time from 8.5 minutes to 1.2 minutes.

Problem
Post-acute care admissions still rely on faxed referral packets that can run over 100 pages, requiring hours of manual review by intake teams. Slow turnaround leads to empty beds, lost referrals, and patients waiting longer for care, while fragmented documentation makes it difficult to consistently apply facility-specific admission criteria.
Solution
Basalt is an AI-powered platform that reads every incoming referral the moment it arrives—whether by fax, portal, or direct EMR integration—and checks it against a facility's clinical and payer criteria. The system extracts clinical and payer signals from multi-page packets, including handwritten notes and scanned documents, and surfaces each finding as red, yellow, or green with a citation to the exact source line. Clinicians review the evidence and make the final admit decision, while Basalt reuses the same sourced documentation to support prior authorizations, concurrent reviews, and appeals. The platform integrates with existing workflows rather than replacing them, turning hours of manual chart review into a decision-ready summary in minutes.
Target Audience
Primary customers are post-acute care facilities—including behavioral health hospitals and skilled nursing facilities—and their admissions teams, case managers, and clinicians who need to process high volumes of referrals quickly and defensibly.
