01
CMS-0057 readiness matrix
A requirement-by-requirement view of what applies to your product, what evidence exists, and what remains unresolved.
PA Connect › Fixed-scope readiness sprint
CMS-0057 readiness, scoped to two weeks.
For 10–100-person ambulatory EHR, PM, and RCM vendors that need a concrete CRD, DTR, and PAS integration plan before they commit a product team.
$5,000 fixed fee. Two weeks. Readiness and planning only—not a production implementation.
01Two-week fixed scope
02$5,000 fixed fee
03Six named deliverables
What you receive
Six deliverables, written for your product and integration team.
The sprint turns the CMS-0057 rule and Da Vinci implementation guides into a bounded backlog for your current product. It does not build, deploy, or operate an integration.
02
CRD, DTR, and PAS workflow map
The user, system, payer, and human-review steps from coverage discovery through a prepared prior-authorization request.
03
FHIR endpoint, authentication, and data inventory
The expected touchpoints, available capabilities, dependencies, access model, and missing data—not a claim that an endpoint is live.
04
Representative test scenarios and payload plan
Happy paths, failure paths, review checkpoints, and a plan for synthetic request and response examples.
05
Prioritized gap register and implementation roadmap
Sequenced product, engineering, security, and payer-dependency work with owners, acceptance criteria, and decision points.
06
Executive readout and technical handoff
A working session that explains the findings, decisions, unknowns, and next-step options to both leadership and implementers.
Accountability and security
The system prepares work. Your people retain authority.
A person you designate approves every submission. PA Connect does not make clinical, coverage, or prior-authorization decisions, and it does not turn human review into a ceremonial click.
Discovery uses customer-authorized access, least privilege, and synthetic or de-identified data by default. We document authentication, authorization, audit, retention, and production-access decisions rather than assuming them.
No production credentials or PHI in this form. If later work requires protected data or environment access, that begins only after the parties agree the appropriate contract, security review, access controls, and handling procedure.
Commercial terms
Start with the sprint. Convert only if the lane makes sense.
The readiness sprint is a $5,000 fixed fee for the two-week scope above.
If both sides agree to continue into the managed integration lane, it is $3,500/month for six months ($21,000 total). The $5,000 sprint fee is credited in full against that six-month total, leaving $16,000 across the managed lane. The credit applies only on conversion; there is no automatic renewal or obligation to continue.
The managed lane is a separately scoped service. The sprint does not guarantee CMS-0057 compliance, payer approval, reimbursement, or production deployment. It produces evidence, gaps, decisions, and an implementation plan—not certification or an approval outcome.
