As the healthcare industry continues to face mounting challenges in addressing accurate payment integrity due to complex healthcare claims processing, evolving reimbursement models, and fragmented data systems, healthcare leaders seek tools that will allow them to act more swiftly, accurately and confidently.
At the 2024 Codoxo Xcelerate Conference, Codoxo customers joined industry leaders to explore the game-changing potential of Generative AI in transforming healthcare payment workflows and outcomes.
Through a dedicated session on “Future-Proof Payment Integrity with Generative AI,” Codoxo unveiled how advanced AI-powered solutions can automate tasks, enhance explainability, and better manage healthcare data, presenting groundbreaking opportunities for cost containment and increased operational efficiency.
Key Challenges in Payment Integrity
Rajesh Razdan, VP of Products at Codoxo, discussed the growing complexity of claims processing. “Evolving reimbursement models, frequent coding rule changes, and siloed data systems are adding layers of complexity to payment workflows,” noted Rajesh. He pointed out that payment integrity teams face the uphill task of managing hundreds of policy changes monthly while ensuring compliance and accuracy.
Harnessing the Power of Generative AI in Healthcare
Codoxo’s leadership showcased the potential of Generative AI in addressing these challenges, offering innovative use cases for how this technology can transform payment integrity outcomes.
Automating Routine Tasks:
Generative AI for healthcare use cases is capable of streamlining repetitive, manual processes such as medical record reviews, audits, and provider contract compliance. Codoxo demonstrated the Clinical Claim Pilot, a solution leveraging Generative AI to automate audits on complex inpatient claims. By scanning thousands of pages of medical records and pinpointing relevant details, the tool allows healthcare payors’ staff to focus on high-value activities rather than tediously combing through documentation.
Improving Explainability and Context:
Razdan highlighted the value of AI in offering clear, detailed justifications for payment decisions. With natural language capabilities, Generative AI can provide human-readable summaries to explain billing errors, policy violations, or coding inconsistencies. For example, technology transforms dense analytical data into actionable insights for investigations, enabling better communication with providers and stakeholders.
Enhancing Data Management Efforts:
Data silos and inconsistencies have long been an issue in payment integrity. Generative AI’s ability to standardize and clean fragmented datasets is a game-changer. Automated processes can detect redundancies, validate provider information, and generate clean data sets ready for use. One standout benefit is the ability to address coding and reimbursement rule changes dynamically, ensuring compliance over time.
Solution Showcase
The session also featured demonstrations of payment integrity tools powered by Generative AI solutions, providing actionable improvements in case management, provider education, and fraud detection.
Case Claim Pilot – Automates case preparation by reviewing medical records and allegations, logging findings, and generating letters or reports automatically. With reduced human intervention, investigators can resolve cases faster and more accurately.
Compliance Claim Pilot – aids payment integrity teams in managing reimbursement policies and provider contracts, by translating policies into actionable code edits. By ensuring claims adhere to updated medical policies, organizations can reduce overpayments and strengthen compliance.
Concept Claim Pilot – simplifies claim reviews with natural language queries, enabling subject matter experts to build unique concepts and run analyses without technical expertise. Attendees saw firsthand how powerful this functionality is for dynamic claim exploration and reporting.
Looking to the Future
Codoxo’s roadmap for Generative AI includes expanding its capabilities into even more sophisticated use cases tailored to healthcare payors’ needs. “We envision a world where every investigation or claims process can be augmented by an AI-powered assistant,” Razdan said.
