← All glossary termsCATCH
The stage of Ethermed's workflow that identifies whether a given service or medication requires prior authorization before work begins, reducing wasted effort on non-PA-required cases.
What it means
CATCH sits at the front of Ethermed's process and maps directly onto the Coverage Requirements Discovery criteria codified under HTI-4. It prevents time being spent chasing authorization for services that never needed it in the first place.
