Discover how AI document processing improved review speed, accuracy, and efficiency for a leading healthcare insurance technology platform.
Company Overview
A fast-growing healthcare insurance technology platform supporting self-insured employers, third-party administrators, and health insurers set out to modernize its claim management workflows. The organization helps its partners reduce medical spend and deliver more consistent, clinically informed decisions by supporting critical review processes across the patient journey.
The Challenge
Nurse reviewers manually evaluated unstructured clinical documents, such as faxed, typed, and handwritten records, to determine medical necessity for claim-related decisions. This led to slow turnaround times, inconsistent determinations, and growing pressure on review capacity.
Strict HIPAA and audit requirements added additional complexity, requiring secure handling and transparent documentation of every step.
Slow Claim Decision Turnaround Times
Inconsistent Evaluations Across Reviewers
Rapid Increase in Case Volume
Manual Review of Unstructured Clinical Records
Complex Compliance and Audit Tracking
The Approach
The organization partnered with LaunchPad Lab to lead a Blueprint Workshop that brought together clinical, compliance, and IT stakeholders. Through workflow mapping and opportunity analysis, the teams identified the highest-impact areas where AI could support claim reviewers by extracting relevant data and preparing guideline-aligned recommendations.
Unstructured Document Processing
Seamless System Integrations
Evidence-Based Guideline Comparison
AI Determinations Supported by Human Review
Audit-Ready and HIPAA-Compliant Traceability
An AI-powered document processing assistant was integrated with internal systems to streamline the utilization management process. Built within a HIPAA-compliant framework, the system securely processed clinical documentation, extracted structured information, and generated draft determinations for nurse validation. Because the solution handled protected health information (PHI), it was designed with strict security protocols and compliance safeguards at every step.
Extracts patient details and provider requests from EHR records and unstructured documents, including typed and handwritten content.
Aligns each case with evidence-based clinical guidelines to assess medical necessity and ensure consistent decision-making.
Generates structured recommendation drafts using standardized workflows and case-specific data inputs.
Formats clear, structured draft notes within the EHR platform, enabling faster, more consistent, and efficient nurse reviews.
Logs every action with detailed, audit-friendly formatting to support regulatory oversight and ensure HIPAA compliance.
The Results
By embedding AI document processing into claim management workflows, the organization significantly strengthened speed, accuracy, and scalability.
✓ Faster Clinical Review Turnaround: Expected reduction from 3–4 days to under 24 hours
✓ High Determination Accuracy: AI performing with an 85–90% accuracy rating
✓ Greater Claim Capacity: Nurses can process more cases without adding headcount
