With rising claim denial rates, it is time to focus on efficient, expert-tested, and secure AI strategies to reduce claim denials in the healthcare sector. In today’s fast-paced world, denial and rejection of claims in the healthcare industry cause sub-standard patient care, added stress, and unproductive RCM (Revenue Cycle Management).

Advanced tools with cutting-edge technology that provide custom AI models are the only solutions that cater to unique business problems like claim denial management. However, the vital question is how to choose an AI solution that can effectively reduce claim denials. Here are five proven strategies to help lower claim denials in healthcare using AI:

1.     Gen AI RPA Lynk’s GenAI RPA agents can handle complex tasks without human intervention. Unlike traditional RPA, AI-powered RPA agents do not rely on static rules. GenAI RPA agents adapt to dynamic scenarios seamlessly and resolve issues automatically within a fraction of a second. In healthcare claim denials management, these agents can automatically track claims by integrating with healthcare and payer systems. Claim status, concerns raised, and items that need attention can also be notified to the respective prospects promptly with the help of Lynk AI.

2.     AI-Enhanced IDP Lynk’s AI-enhanced intelligent document processing allows automated data extraction from structured and unstructured documents with minimal human interference. This automatic data extraction process is accurate, efficient, and fast. Lynk IDP reviews, extracts, classifies, and translates complex documents like claim forms, medical records, insurance policies, documents submitted while filing the claim, and Claim Adjustment Reason Codes (CARC). With AI-enhanced IDP, healthcare providers can effortlessly seek the cause of claim rejection and decide further steps to rectify the errors.

3.     Advanced NLP for Virtual Assistants Claim denial management can benefit from implementing Lynk’s custom-trained virtual assistants. They are trained using healthcare-specific proprietary data, which allows them to understand the services provided and the nature of customer queries. Although AI-powered denial management can tackle the complete process holistically, it is better to have virtual assistants powered by advanced NLP models, enabling them to understand and respond to customer queries in a natural, conversational manner—making interactions smoother and more intuitive.

4.     Predictive analytics and Machine Learning AI-powered denial management allows providers to identify and address risks before claims are submitted using Machine Learning Algorithms and predictive analytics. With Lynk’s tailored AI solutions, analyzing historical claims data, payer guidelines, and industry trends, it becomes easy to manage claim denials. Advanced ML also addresses potential risks before claim submission, thus improving claim workflows and operational efficiency.

5.     AI-enabled Compliance and Security Lynk AI automates 90% of the tasks and accelerates the healthcare claims compliance Journey. It gives complete insight into the critical risk factors on top of efficient audits by providing in-demand security frameworks in a shorter period. Secondly, AI-assisted solutions identify and resolve claim issues early in the process, ensuring compliance by meeting payer guidelines, thus leading to faster approvals and reducing rejections and delays.
