MIAMI & MEMPHIS, Tenn.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–HealthGates and Spesana, two mission centric health-tech companies, are elated to announce a strategic partnership that is focused on accelerating the transformation of precision medicine and advancement of solutions available to clinicians/providers, bio-pharma, payors, pharmacies & patients. The goal of synergizing HealthGates’ and Spesana’s digital prior authorization solutions and leveraging Spesana’s clinical workflow ecosystem, will ensure the right treatment for the right patient at the right time.


The collaboration represents an inflection point in how actionable data will be used by clinicians and care providers to drive more effective and efficient care. The convergence of HealthGates’ solutions with Spesana’s technology infrastructure will reshape how clinicians leverage advanced tools & workflows to deliver personalized care.

“Healthcare professionals want to provide the best care to every patient. The administrative and clinical barriers in place prevent the desired care. Spesana has a history of building elegant clinician-facing tools that simplify workflows whilst improving clinical care. As we approach this powerful partnership with HealthGates, whose expertise and credibility are sterling, we believe we serve clinicians and healthcare administrators with a unique path to precision medicine and automated 2026 CMS Final Rule-compliant Prior Authorizations. That is cause for celebration.” – Carla Balch, CEO/Founder at Spesana.

The foundation of the partnership between HealthGates and Spesana is based upon a clear harmonization of missions, visions, and values. Both organizations share a commitment to transform healthcare with advancing technologies and smart workstreams to improve patient outcomes.

“We’re firmly committed to driving better patient outcomes by enabling providers to receive quick approvals on treatments needed to save lives. With impending federal and state level legislation for prior authorization, our focus is on patient-centric interoperability, connecting the five key stakeholders: Patients, Providers, Payors, Pharma and Specialty Pharmacies. We strongly believe that a treatment delayed, is a treatment denied. The collaboration between HealthGates and Spesana is a major step forward in achieving this goal.” – Gary Markham, COO/Co-Founder at HealthGates.

Today, HealthGates and Spesana will embark on an important journey focused on breaking down the silos and archaic workflows that have existed for decades. The shared commitment to improve patient care and support families is the guiding compass for both companies.
