Smart Health Network is neutral infrastructure for health transactions between providers, payers, and patients — built to help the industry modernize prior authorization ahead of the January 1, 2027 federal deadline.

American healthcare still runs on faxes, phone calls, portals, and thousands of one-off connections. Clinicians lose hours to paperwork. Patients wait in the dark. Payers and providers rebuild the same integrations again and again.

Smart Health Network changes the connection model: connect once, transact with all. The network routes eligibility, prior authorization, claims, remittance, attachments, and patient-visible audit through a neutral shared hub. Data stays at the source; the hub routes sealed envelopes and does not read or monetize patient data.

Delaware launched first. The Delaware Department of Health and Social Services and the Delaware Health Care Commission announced a statewide initiative with DHIN and Smart Health Network to streamline insurance verification and prior authorization through shared infrastructure.

Smart Health Network PBC is a mission-locked Delaware Public Benefit Corporation. Patient access, onboarding, conformance testing, and public-health reporting are permanently free. Published utility fees fund the network for payers and providers.
