Solution Overview

Problem

Current medical claims processing systems are inefficient, time-consuming, and often fail to detect and resolve issues proactively due to incomplete or incorrect data, leading to user dissatisfaction and delayed payments.

Innovation Solution

An automated medical concierge system utilizing AI, machine learning, and data mining to analyze provider behavior, detect issues, and provide remedies, categorizing providers into compliant, necessary, or malicious categories, and initiating investigations to address issues such as incomplete data or false information submission.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If automated systems are used for receiving and verifying claims, then productivity is improved, but reliability deteriorates due to incomplete or incorrect verification

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveclaims processing speedVSAvoidverification accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system continuously monitors provider behavior by analyzing claim patterns, verification outcomes, and data completeness. This feedback loop enables the system to identify problematic providers and adjust verification processes dynamically, improving both productivity and reliability simultaneously.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs self-verification of claims by automatically detecting issues with incomplete or incorrect data without requiring manual intervention. This self-service capability maintains high verification accuracy while enabling rapid processing of legitimate claims.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Reliability

If manual verification processes are used, then reliability is improved, but productivity deteriorates due to resource and time consumption

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveverification accuracyVSAvoidclaims processing speed
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary analysis of provider behavior and claim patterns before full verification. By pre-identifying problematic claims through behavioral analysis, the system prepares verification processes in advance, ensuring high accuracy while reducing actual verification time and resource consumption.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Device complexity

If passive systems are used for claim processing, then device complexity is reduced, but loss of information increases due to inability to detect and resolve issues proactively

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesystem structureVSAvoiddata completeness
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements continuous feedback mechanisms that monitor provider behavior and automatically detect information gaps or inconsistencies. This proactive detection capability ensures complete and accurate data collection without requiring complex manual review processes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

4Reliability

If real-time data collection and analysis are implemented, then reliability is improved through proactive issue detection, but use of energy increases due to continuous processing

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveissue detection capabilityVSAvoidcomputational resource consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs behavioral analysis and verification at periodic intervals rather than continuously for all claims. By analyzing provider behavior patterns over time and triggering detailed analysis only when anomalies are detected, the system maintains high reliability while significantly reducing computational resource consumption.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #19Periodic action

AI summary

Examples of medical concierge are provided. In an example, an claim may be received. The claim may include data relating to service provided, by a provider, to multiple patients. The claim may be parsed to determine the provider, the multiple patients and the service provided. Additional information may then be fetched. The additional information may include one of a number of claims filed in the past, status of each claim, number of appeals filed, status of the appeals, and complaints registered by the provider. Thereafter, the claim and the additional information may be analyzed and a category may be determined for the provider. The category may be determined based on a behaviour model that may be computed based on the claim and the additional information. The category may be indicative of an issue in behaviour of the provider.
