Saffron’s technology uses AI agents to handle the operational work that most often causes referrals to stall – submitting authorizations, booking appointments, coordinating with patients, and retrieving consult notes. It automates the coordination between primary care physicians and specialists to ensure every patient gets the care that they need, when they need it.
‘When a referral takes too long to complete – buried in prior auths, faxes, and unreturned calls – fewer patients get the care they need and the cost of care goes up. Saffron’s technology automates that work so more referrals actually get completed and clinicians can spend more time caring for their patients,’ said
The acquisition advances two capabilities at the core of Skylight’s orchestration platform:
* Automated, closed-loop referral management between referring providers and specialists – now fully automated with Saffron’s agentic technology.
* Coordination of clinical information, so consult notes and results move with the patient.
These complement Skylight’s existing network of independent specialists, specialty analytics, intelligent referral matching, and concierge patient navigation to form a single, connected orchestration layer for specialty care.
