About This Automation

Funding and claims management involves checking patient eligibility, gathering documents, completing claim forms, and tracking submissions through approval. Manual processing is error-prone, time-consuming, and creates delays in revenue recovery.

Automation evaluates eligibility rules, populates claim forms with patient data, submits claims to providers, and monitors status automatically. The practice team focuses only on verification and exception handling, reducing cycle time and improving approval rates.

Key features:
Evaluate patient eligibility against current funding scheme rules automatically
Populate claim forms with patient and treatment data from existing records
Submit completed claims to the correct funding provider on schedule
Monitor claim status via email and provider portals without manual checking
Alert the practice manager when claims are overdue or require follow-up
Log submission details and outcomes in your tracking system

How The Automation Works

The full workflow, from trigger to completion.

1. Patient Dischargedtrigger

Practice management system flags a patient as discharged after completing an eligible treatment episode. The automation platform receives the trigger with patient ID, treatment dates, and service codes.

2. Check Eligibility Rules

The automation queries the eligibility matrix (stored) against patient treatment codes and location to determine which funding schemes apply.

3. Retrieve Patient Documents

The automation fetches treatment notes, invoices, and consent forms from the practice management system and any linked cloud storage.

4. Populate Claim Form

The automation fills the appropriate funding scheme form template with patient details, treatment dates, costs, and practitioner credentials, then generates a PDF.

5. Submit to Funding Scheme

The completed form and supporting documents are submitted via email or API to the funding provider, with a confirmation record created.

6. Log Claim in Tracker

Claim details, submission date, expected response date, and scheme reference are recorded and synced for revenue tracking.

7. Monitor & Alert on Status

The automation checks provider portals and email weekly for status updates, and sends an alert to the practice manager if a claim exceeds its expected response window.

8. Record Outcome & Reconcile

When a response is received, the automation logs the approval status and amount and, and flags the claim for payment reconciliation.
