Healthcare Insurance Claim Eligibility Engine

This Decision Flow consumes a RESTful API call from your core claim system to determine whether a client has active healthcare plan coverage and if any specific exclusions apply to the services rendered.

The Healthcare Insurance Claim Eligibility Engine template provides an accelerated starting point for automating enrollment verification and service-specific exclusions.


How It Works

The application integrates directly with your core claims system via API to process patient data and service details. The workflow follows a streamlined logic path:

  • Enrollment Verification: The system first validates the member's status. If the status is Active, COBRA, or within a Grace Period, the engine proceeds to line-item analysis.
  • Automatic Denial: If coverage has expired, the system immediately triggers an automated denial notification to your core system.
  • Adjudication Logic: For eligible members, the engine applies sophisticated logic to evaluate service-specific exclusions based on employer groups, CPT codes, diagnoses, and provider networks.

Core Components
  • Eligibility Decision Flow: The master orchestration layer that directs the data path from initial API consumption to the final approve or deny recommendation.
  • Member Status Decision Tree: Automates the initial eligibility gatekeeping by branching logic based on the member's current enrollment phase.
  • Service-Specific Exclusions Table: Enforces network compliance and site-of-service propriety to ensure claims are only paid when they meet specific contractual and clinical criteria.

What It Means for Your Team
  • Reduces Administrative Overhead: By automating the initial gatekeeping of eligibility and enrollment, your team can eliminate manual data entry and focus only on complex, high-priority claims that require human intervention.
  • Minimizes Costly Leakage: The engine enforces strict site-of-service propriety and network compliance at the line-item level, ensuring you only pay claims that align perfectly with employer group contracts and CPT-specific rules.
  • Accelerates Adjudication Speed: Real-time API integration allows for near-instant approve or deny decisions. This improves provider satisfaction by reducing the claims lifecycle and ensures members receive faster notification of their coverage status.
