Claims Auto Adjudication

When Claims Adjudication Falls Outside Automation, Cost Scales & Speed Tumbles.

Most systems automate the common cases. Everything else becomes manual, creating backlogs, inconsistency, and rising cost. Claims Auto Adjudication is batch based and extends automation to edge cases, so you can scale without the overhead.

The Problem

Adjudication Gaps Multiply at Scale. Complexity Just Exposes It Faster.

Every new contract, workflow variation, and payer rule creates another exception path the core system cannot fully handle.

Manual intervention fills the gap. Spreadsheets multiply. Custom scripts fail. Queues expand. What starts as operational overhead becomes systemic backlog and financial leakage.

"The issue is not isolated process failure. It’s that healthcare operations generate complexity core systems were never designed to absorb consistently at scale.”

Built at the Data Layer, Not the UI, So It Scales.

Most healthcare automation depends on brittle scripts and screen-level workflows layered on top of legacy systems.

Claims Auto Adjudication operates directly at the database layer, in a batch manner, eliminating dependency on front-end behavior, reducing manual intervention, and maintaining consistent high-volume processing even as operational complexity grows.

No screen simulation. No fragile RPA stacks. No operational slowdowns caused by system change.

How It Works?

The Claims Auto Adjudication Workflow

Six steps. From product activation to verified result.

Activate step visualConnect step visualTarget step visualInstruct step visualObserve step visualNotify step visual
Activate

Activate a pipeline automatically in multiple modes.

Connect

Connect to one or more databases and run the pipeline

Target

Select specific claims to act on by using a series of configurable inclusion and exclusion criteria

Instruct

Perform simple/complex/condition actions based on instructions specified.

Observe

Observe the data after making the changes and log/capture for reporting and compliance purposes.

Notify

If any issues occurred or whether the execution was smooth.

CAPABILITIES

Built for the
Full Adjudication Cycle.

Purpose built capabilities covering every stage of medical claims adjudication, from bulk processing to denial recovery.

01
10
01

High-Speed Bulk Processing

Scheduled or on-demand bulk adjudication at 400 claims and 800 claim lines per minute. Designed for the volume that healthcare operations generate, without requiring continuous system load.

Rule Library

Pre-built rules covering eligibility denials, duplicates, authorization matching, bundled services, and non-covered services. Rules live in structured database tables for easy customization. Improves first-pass resolution rates by 40%.

Authorization Matching

Automates the matching of authorizations by verifying that medical services rendered are authorized as per payer guidelines before treatment. Eliminates the most common upstream denial cause by focusing on authorization verification and not downstream claims payment.

Reprice and Reprocess

Automatically reprocess paid claims and reprice open claims to correct overpayments, underpayments, and fee schedule adjustments. Fully compliant with contract-specific pricing rules. Audit-ready at every step.

Flexible Scheduling

Daily automation or manual triggers across systems. Run overnight to avoid production system load during business hours or trigger on-demand for urgent processing requirements. No continuous system load required.

Resilient Execution

Script sequencing, automatic recovery from timeouts and reboots, and zero re-runs. Enterprise-grade stability that does not require manual intervention to resume after an interruption.

Complete Auditability

Automated audit trails track every action taken during the claims process. Full transparency at every stage: what was processed, when, by which rule, and with what result. Audit readiness is built in, not bolted on.

Regulatory Compliance

Claims processed in full compliance with current industry standards and payer guidelines. Regular compliance checks built into the processing cycle to mitigate risk and simplify audits. No separate compliance layer required.

FAQ's

Frequently Asked Questions.

Everything you need to know before evaluating Claims Auto Adjudication for your organization.

Does this replace our existing claims platform?

No. Claims Auto Adjudication layers onto your existing claims environment. It automates the adjudication processes that your current system handles manually or through workarounds, without requiring changes to the core platform.

Does the system run continuously?

No, and that is by design. Because processing speed is high, claims are adjudicated on a scheduled basis, typically overnight, without loading production systems during business hours. On-demand processing is also available for urgent requirements.

How are adjudication rules configured?

Rules are configured in structured database tables based on your specific payer policies, contract terms, and business requirements. The pre-built rule library covers the most common adjudication scenarios. Flexible to develop custom rules for logic that falls outside the standard library.

How long does implementation take?

Implementation typically runs three to six months depending on the complexity of the adjudication rules and the existing claims environment. Client involvement is structured and bounded throughout.

What is the commercial commitment required?

Month-to-month licensing. No upfront capital expenditure. No multi-year contract required to begin.
