Insurance Claims Adjudication and Business Rule Engines

by | Jan 14, 2014

Insurance claims adjudication is a critical and complex process, requiring insurers to make accurate, adaptable decisions that comply with regulatory demands and meet customer expectations. Traditional approaches, like static application code or spreadsheets, quickly become cumbersome as complexity grows, making it challenging for insurers to respond swiftly to changing requirements. 

InRule’s AI Decisioning platform, powered by a robust business rules engine (BRE), explainable machine learning, and process automation empowers insurers to simplify and streamline claims adjudication. With low-code tools, business users can independently adjust decision logic, ensuring faster, more accurate claims processing without IT intervention. By providing transparency and adaptability, InRule supports insurers in meeting compliance demands while enhancing customer satisfaction. 

 

Key Capabilities of AI Decisioning Platform in Claims Adjudication 

Claims adjudication is unique among insurance processes due to the high number of business logic permutations required to cover diverse products, providers, policies, and geographic regions. AI Decisioning platforms enables insurers to efficiently handle these variables while keeping decision-making agile and compliant. Here’s how InRule addresses the complexity of claims adjudication: 

  • Adaptable Decision Logic: Business users can directly modify rules in a low-code environment, allowing quick adaptations to evolving regulations, policy changes, or market needs. This flexibility reduces dependency on IT, enabling insurers to respond swiftly to business and regulatory changes. 
  • Explainable AI for Compliance: InRule’s explainable AI ensures transparency, allowing insurers to justify claims decisions to auditors and stakeholders with confidence. The platform provides visibility into the underlying business logic, simplifying audits and maintaining trust in the decision-making process. 
  • Seamless Data Integration: InRule’s platform connects seamlessly with existing enterprise data sources, allowing real-time data access without cumbersome manual data transfers. This integration supports streamlined, accurate decision-making across disparate systems, ensuring that claims adjudication always reflects the most current data. 
  • Historical Data Analysis: To make precise eligibility and coverage determinations, claims adjudication often requires reviewing a policy or claimant’s history. InRule enables insurers to analyze claims history either in-memory or through external databases, allowing efficient access to relevant data for more accurate decisions.
