Executive Summary

Payers are losing millions annually due to hidden overpayments—particularly in high-dollar claims. Traditional policy edits alone are not enough to catch nuanced or clinically complex errors. By integrating physician-led prepay reviews, advanced clinical logic, and tools like ClaimInsight, payers can prevent losses before they happen and restore both employer trust and margin confidence.

The Cost of Outdated Defenses

Automation and policy-based claim checks leave gaps. Payers remain exposed to billing errors, miscoding, and medically unnecessary treatments. These blind spots lead to billions in losses each year—jeopardizing financial health and organizational credibility.

Why Prepay + Clinical Review Is the Winning Formula

A modern, clinically focused approach to payment integrity includes:

• Advanced clinical logic that identifies inappropriate billing
• AI-assisted risk detection to spot high-risk claims
• Physician-led reviews of ambiguous or complex claims

This shift from post-pay recovery to proactive prepay prevention changes the game—and protects the bottom line.

ClaimInsight enables payers to:

• Leverage a deep clinical content library
• Use a configurable rules engine to adapt to unique payer policies
• Flag risky claims through High-Dollar Review (HDR)
• Stay policy-compliant with Intelligent Policy Update (IPU)
