Agentic Index
Basys.ai vs Cohere Health (2026)
Both sit on the payer side of prior authorization with similar headline automation claims, roughly 90 percent each, and different scope.
Basys encodes payer policies with generative AI, auto approves up to 90 percent of requests and routes complex cases to clinicians, backed by Mayo and Eli Lilly, documenting 6 of 14. Cohere automates up to 90 percent with 85 percent real time approvals and extends through utilization management, payment integrity, appeals and claims via Cohere Unify, at 7.5. When two vendors claim the same automation rate, the questions worth asking are what counts as a request and what happens to the other ten percent.
Choose Basys.ai if
- Policy encoding is the specific problem: your policies change and nothing keeps up.
- Clinical backing from Mayo and Eli Lilly matters to your governance conversation.
- You want a focused tool rather than a platform you will only partly use.
Choose Cohere Health if
- Documented coverage is broader and the platform reaches appeals and payment integrity.
- The real time approval rate is published alongside the automation rate, which is the more honest pair.
- You are consolidating vendors across the utilization management stack.
