The prompt

Help me prepare a prior authorization request. Payer and plan: [e.g. "Medicare Advantage HMO", "state Medicaid MCO"] Service requested: [CPT/HCPCS code(s), drug name, imaging study, DME, or procedure] Diagnosis codes as documented by the provider: [ICD-10] Payer's coverage criteria: [PASTE the medical policy or criteria checklist] Documentation we have: [SUMMARY - prior treatments tried and dates, test results, notes, as recorded by our clinicians] Urgency: [standard / expedited - and the provider's stated reason if expedited] Submission method: [portal, fax, electronic PA] Do this: 1. Build a criteria crosswalk table: Payer criterion | Where it is met in our documentation (cite the note and date) | Status (met / partly met / missing). 2. List each gap and what document or information would close it. Do not suggest altering or adding clinical facts; only point to what may already exist in the chart or needs the provider's input. 3. Draft a concise letter of medical necessity summary for the provider to review and sign, using only the facts I gave you, with [PROVIDER TO CONFIRM] where needed. 4. Give a submission checklist: correct codes, NPI and tax ID, site of service, units, dates, and attachments. 5. Draft talking points for a peer-to-peer review in case of denial, organized by criterion. 6. Note expected decision timelines to [CONFIRM] with the payer and when to follow up. The clinical justification must come from the treating provider; this prompt only organizes the documentation.

Highlighted [brackets] are blanks to replace with your own details.

How this prompt is built

This prompt follows the RTF structure (Role, Task, Format). RTF tells the model who to be, what to do and what shape the answer should take. It is the quickest structure that still gives noticeably better results than a bare request.
