About This Automation

Insurance and funding claims require staff to manually extract patient data, identify the correct payer form, compile supporting documents, and complete claim submissions. This process is time-consuming and error-prone, with incomplete claims causing delays in reimbursement.

Automation extracts patient and treatment data directly from clinic records, populates the correct claim form for each payer, and submits claims via email or portal.

Key features:
Extract patient demographics and treatment details automatically from clinic records
Identify the correct payer and claim form based on patient insurance information
Populate claim forms with payer-specific formatting rules and required fields
Compile and attach supporting documents such as clinical notes and progress reports
Submit claims via email or payer portal and log submissions in accounting software
Track claim status and generate follow-up reminders for overdue claims

How The Automation Works

The full workflow, from trigger to completion.

1. Treatment Episode Marked Completetrigger

Clinic management system detects that a patient's treatment episode has been marked complete and no claim has yet been submitted for this episode.

2. Extract Patient and Treatment Data

Automation retrieves patient demographics, treatment dates, session count, clinical notes, and cost from the clinic system via API.

3. Identify Payer and Claim Requirements

Automation looks up the patient's insurance or funding source and retrieves the correct claim form template and submission requirements for that payer.

4. Compile and Validate Documents

Automation gathers clinical notes, treatment plans, and progress reports from the clinic system, validates that all required documents are present, and flags any gaps for human review.

5. Populate Claim Form

Automation fills in the payer's claim form with extracted patient and treatment data, applying payer-specific formatting rules and field mappings.

6. Submit Claim to Payer

Automation sends the completed claim and supporting documents to the payer via email or uploads to the payer's online portal, and logs the submission.

7. Track and Escalate Claim Status

Automation monitors claim status by checking payer responses and escalates overdue claims for manual follow-up, with a summary of claim details and expected response date.
