Corvus Health

The problem

Surgical referrals take too much work to evaluate

Before a surgical consultation can happen, teams have to collect medical records, review imaging, lab results and treatment histories, and chase down missing information. Fewer than 40% of surgical referrals ultimately result in surgery, yet each one can require extensive manual coordination.

Built with Mayo Clinic surgeons to bring AI to the surgical referral process.

The solution

Surgical Access Intelligence

Corvus' AI-enabled platform gathers and organizes clinical information, automating document retrieval, prior authorization coordination and cost estimation. It applies AI-powered logic to assess surgical eligibility against specialty-specific clinical criteria, helping teams identify patients who are ready for consultation.

Clinicians stay involved throughout the process, and surgeons retain responsibility for clinical decisions.
