About Nakod
We’re on a mission to eliminate unnecessary prior authorization denials.
The Problem We Solve
Every day, healthcare practices spend hours on prior authorizations—searching through PDFs, calling payers, and resubmitting requests that get denied for missing documentation.
The frustrating part? Most denials aren’t because the procedure isn’t medically necessary. They happen because the documentation didn’t match what the payer was looking for. A missing phrase. An incomplete clinical note. A rendering provider NPI that wasn’t in-network.
We built Nakod to fix this.
Our Mission
“Help healthcare practices get prior authorizations approved on the first submission—so they can focus on patient care, not paperwork.”
What We Do
Nakod is a prior authorization intelligence platform that helps medical practices:
🎯 Get it right the first time — Our pre-submission checklists tell you exactly what documentation each payer requires before you submit.
📄 Fight denials effectively — When denials happen, our AI parses the letter, identifies what’s missing, and generates professional appeal letters.
📊 Make data-driven decisions — Check your approval probability before submitting and get AI recommendations to improve your odds.
Our Team
Pouyan
With a background in healthcare technology and real estate data platforms, Pouyan founded Nakod after seeing firsthand how much time medical practices waste on prior authorizations. Working closely with imaging centers, coders, and billing specialists, he built Nakod to address the real pain points—not just appeals, but preventing denials before they happen.
Our Values
🎯 Practical over Perfect
We focus on what actually helps practices get authorizations approved, not theoretical solutions.
🔍 Transparency
Clear pricing, honest about what we can and can’t do, and no hidden costs.
⚡ Speed Matters
Every hour spent on prior auth is an hour not spent on patient care. We respect your time.
📈 Continuous Improvement
We constantly update our coverage database and improve our AI based on real-world feedback.
Why “Nakod”?
Nakod (نکود) is a Persian word that can mean “point” or “dot”—representing precision and getting straight to the point. In prior authorization, that’s exactly what matters: knowing the precise documentation requirements and hitting them accurately the first time.
