1. Claim Data Capturedtrigger
A patient transaction is completed in the practice management system and claim data is automatically extracted, including patient demographics, procedure codes, and insurance information.
2. Verify Eligibility & Format
The automation platform checks insurance eligibility in real time via insurer APIs, maps procedure codes to the correct payer format, and applies fee schedule adjustments automatically.
3. Submit to Insurer
The formatted claim is submitted electronically to the insurer via their API or secure portal, and a submission confirmation is logged automatically.
4. Track Claim Status
The automation platform queries insurer APIs daily to check claim status and automatically flags claims that are denied, pending, or paid.
5. Identify Rebate Eligibility
The automation evaluates each claim against rebate rules stored in a database and automatically identifies claims that qualify for rebates based on product type and volume thresholds.
6. Submit Rebate Claims
Eligible rebate claims are automatically compiled with required documentation and submitted to the insurer via email or portal.
7. Reconcile Payments
When rebate or claim payments are received, the automation matches them to original claims and rebate submissions, and records the transactions in the accounting system.
8. Alert on Exceptions
The automation sends alerts to the finance team for claims that remain unpaid beyond a threshold, denials requiring manual review, or rebate deadlines approaching.
Everything you need to know before mapping this process.
Automation flags denied claims daily and notifies staff of the denial reason. Staff review the issue, correct the claim data, and automation resubmits it to the insurer.
