Claims and prior auth AI

Review how AI agents prepare claims and prior authorizations.

Check whether the agent gathers the required documents, applies the right payer rules, uses tools correctly, and hands off to a specialist when needed. Record approved corrections and test them on similar cases.

A complete-looking summary can still miss a required document.

A complete-looking summary can still miss required attachments, misread policy, or push an unsafe auto-decision.

Incomplete packets

Agents proceed without required clinical notes, codes, or attachments.

Policy misapplication

Payer rules and versioned criteria are paraphrased incorrectly.

Tool blind spots

Eligibility or status tools return empty/partial results and the agent invents state.

No reusable rewrite

Specialist corrections never become approved trajectories for similar cases.

Test corrections for one type of case

We review the documents, tool calls, and decisions in each case. Specialists approve the correct actions, then we test the change on similar cases.

Case reconstruction

Request context, documents, tools, intermediate decisions, and final recommendation.

Specialist corrections

Reviewers rewrite the path that should have happened, with critique and scope.

Limit where examples apply

Restrict retrieval to the matching claim or prior-authorization task and policy.

What a claims/prior-auth review must inspect

Review the evidence required for each decision in the revenue-cycle or utilization-management process.

Documentation completeness

Required notes, codes, attachments, and chronology before a recommendation is allowed.

Policy and payer logic

Versioned criteria, exclusions, and when the agent must escalate instead of decide.

Specialist approval

Decide who can approve examples and which case types must stay with human reviewers.

Claims / prior-auth review package

Review records for the documents, policy decisions, and handoffs in each case.

Packet completeness checks

Required notes, codes, attachments, and chronology gates.

Policy application review

Versioned criteria, exclusions, and escalate-vs-decide rules.

Case-action scorecard

Tool use, information handling, recovery from errors, and safety of recommendations.

Approved case paths

Specialist-corrected trajectories for one claim or prior-auth family.

Audit trail fields

Reviewer, approval time, policy version, and retrieval restrictions.

Who this is for

  • Payers, providers, and vendors automating claims or prior-auth prep
  • Revenue-cycle and utilization management teams with repeating case failures
  • Leaders who need auditability for automated recommendations
  • Ops groups whose specialists already correct agent drafts

Claims / prior-auth sprint

Review

Sample cases, group document and policy mistakes, and agree scoring rules.

Build

Have specialists approve the correct actions and rules for reuse on one type of case.

Evaluate

Compare before-and-after results and agree limits for use in live review queues.

Controls for high-stakes reuse

A specialist's correction may apply only to one payer or policy version. Record those limits and remove outdated examples before expanding automation.

Limitations

  • Automation recommendations remain subject to payer and provider policy owners.
  • Reviewers must not invent information missing from the source documents.
  • High-stakes case types may stay human-only by design.
  • An improvement on one type of case may not apply to other payers' rules.

How we test changes

We review real conversations with your team and agree what the agent should do differently. Approved corrections can become training data, test cases, or examples the agent looks up. We compare each change with your best existing setup on separate test cases, then check for new failures in the software you plan to deploy.

Common questions

What does the work include?

We review the documents, tool calls, and decisions in each case. Specialists approve the correct actions, then we test the change on similar cases.

Do you fine-tune our model?

If it's worth testing after we review the problem. We try your best prompt and consider better examples or tool fixes first. We test an adapter on cases it wasn't trained on and check for new failures. The contract sets delivery and usage rights; the base model's license still applies.

What do we need to start?

Logs or conversation exports for one task, examples of good results, and a reviewer who can approve corrections. We agree data handling before you send anything. Remove unnecessary personal details.

How is success measured?

We test the existing and changed agent on the same task. Where the data is available, we compare completed tasks, human edits, handoffs, response time, and cost.

Book a claims and prior-auth review.

Discuss one type of case your agent helps prepare. We'll agree what specialists need to review and how to handle the data.
