Silna Health
Prior auth and benefits automation for therapy providers
Our take
Silna Health automates the front end of the revenue cycle for therapy and specialty providers: benefit checks, eligibility verification, and prior authorizations. Its sweet spot is high-auth-volume specialties like Applied Behavior Analysis, physical and occupational therapy, speech, and psychiatry, where staff can spend half their day on payer portals. The product is staff-facing and deliberately avoids deep EHR integration, so practices can be live in days and keep their existing systems.
The company is early but well backed, with $27M from Accel and Bain Capital Ventures announced in March 2025. It reports coverage of more than 1,000 payers across 50 states and says it has supported over 150,000 patients, cutting verification from 30 minutes to about 30 seconds and approval turnaround from weeks to hours. For a small practice group drowning in ABA or therapy auths, it is one of the few vendors built specifically for that problem; buyers wanting an end-to-end RCM platform will need to pair it with other tools.
What it does
- Automates benefit checks and eligibility verification before visits
- Prepares, submits, and tracks prior authorization requests
- Monitors authorizations and flags expirations and renewals
- Covers 1,000+ payers across all 50 states
- Sits alongside existing EHR and practice management systems
- Built for ABA, PT/OT, speech, psychiatry, and other therapy specialties
Where it's strong
- Purpose-built for therapy and specialty providers like ABA, where prior auth volume is the core operational pain.
- Fast deployment because it sits alongside your stack rather than requiring deep EHR integration.
- Strong reported results: insurance verification cut from 30 minutes to 30 seconds and approvals in hours with a claimed 99.8% success rate.
What buyers should weigh
- Young company (founded 2023) with a short track record and no large publicly named customers.
- Narrow front-end focus: it handles benefits and auth, not claims, denials, or the rest of the revenue cycle.
- The no-integration approach means data lives in a separate staff-facing tool rather than flowing into your EHR automatically.
