Medical Necessity Check

Seamless Operations Through AI Solutions (add/refrase) use benefits
inHealth’s Medical Necessity Rules Engine (REaaS) is a service provided to payers: it is an all-you-need solution that systemizes claims adjudication. This solution standardizes clinical rules applicable for a clinical scenario, supporting multiple coding standards.

This complete solution by inHealth provides a complete package that includes: infrastructure, systems operations software, the medical rule library, and its maintenance. Its high auto-adjudication rate greatly reduces the number of employees payers need for medical adjudication.

(Payers; dedicated) Amend text to payers’ perspective and usage By adopting this solution, payers will be able to guarantee the consistency of necessity checks by automating the process. The solution has also been in constant evolution since its first deployment in 2010, and is designed to evolve itself thanks to advanced AI software and machine learning, thereby decreasing medical costs and payer-provider disputes that may end with denied claims, while also reducing the load on the patient and billing surprises.

The medical necessity rules engine it employs performs standard checks for coding (CMS), pair checks, maximum daily allowance, age, and gender as well as a medical necessity check. It also performs ICD cross-checks for labs, dental codes, consumables (HCPCS) and once-in-a-lifetime incidents. This solution has been developed with payer guidelines in mind, ensuring that resources are allocated on the constant improvement of operations, rather than draining them in delays, denials and dispute settlements.
