Healthcare providers handling high volumes of insurance claims often struggle with manual claim status lookups that slow billing, introduce errors, and strain revenue cycle teams. SimpliSmart’s AI-enabled Workflow eliminates repetitive portal navigation, accelerates revenue cycles, and improves billing accuracy—without requiring changes to payer systems.
Client Overview
A mid-sized healthcare services provider in the home infusion and specialty pharmacy space processes tens of thousands of insurance claims each month. Real-time claim status visibility is critical to ensuring uninterrupted patient care, efficient billing workflows, and timely reimbursement. As claim volumes increased, manual processes became a clear bottleneck—driving the need for a scalable, automation-driven solution.
The Challenge: Manual Claim Status Verification at Scale
Healthcare organizations often rely on billing teams to manually log into multiple payer portals and check claim statuses one by one. For this provider, this meant:
Labor-intensive portal navigation where staff verified each claim individually
Huge claim volumes — approximately 28,000+ claim lines per month
Slow revenue cycle timelines, as manual lookups delay next steps in billing
Inconsistent data capture due to human variation and rework
Misallocated staff time as skilled resources spent hours on repetitive tasks
These challenges made it clear that they needed a scalable, automated approach.
What Is SimpliSmart’s AI-enabled Workflow Automation for Healthcare Claim Status?
Rather than relying on APIs or changes to existing payer systems, the AI-enabled automation was designed to act like a human user — interacting directly with payer portals, logging in securely, and retrieving results with precision.
Using SimpliSmart’s AI-enabled Solution and leveraging the Microsoft Power Platform, the team built an unattended AI-enabled workflow automation that transformed how claims were verified — without disrupting existing workflows or technologies.
Results of Healthcare Claim Status Automation
