Prior-auth denials (CO-197) drove 35% of $ exposure this week, concentrated in Lakeshore BCBS. Recommended next action: open a project to fix the Cedar Hills auth workflow — it's the highest-leverage single fix (~$84k, cuts initial denial rate ~1.4pp). Draft-appeal automation is out of scope for now (needs record retrieval + doc evaluation).
