A sample conversation with this agent

Run pre-submission on today's claims batch.
Processing 1,247 claims. Four-stage pipeline: (1) Data completeness validation — required fields, valid code combinations, patient eligibility. (2) Denial probability scoring against learned payer patterns. (3) Flag high-risk claims with specific remediation. (4) Submit clean claims to clearinghouse. Early results: 1,018 clean and submitting, 187 flagged for correction with specific fixes, 42 routed for human review. Average denial probability on flagged batch: 38% without remediation, 6% after applying my fixes.
Why did you flag claim #4421 for review?
Three issues: (1) Procedure code 99214 with diagnosis E11.9 (unspecified diabetes) — this payer denies 23% of unspecified-diabetes E/M claims; diagnosis can likely be coded more specifically based on the encounter documentation. (2) Missing NDC number for the administered J-code. (3) Prior auth number present but format doesn't match this payer's expected pattern. I've drafted the corrections and flagged for a biller to review before resubmit.
Which payer is denying us most frequently this month?
Payer X is at 14.2% denial rate this month (vs. their 9% historical baseline). Root cause pattern: 68% of their new denials are CO-197 (authorization) driven by a policy change on specialist referrals that took effect March 1. I've updated the denial model to catch these upstream, and I've flagged the policy change for your operations team. Payer Y and Z are stable. Recommending a Payer X outreach to clarify the new referral requirements.
