Deliver safe, auditable, and regulatory-compliant healthcare decisions

Automation in healthcare ensures that eligibility, claims, and clinical decisions are accurate, explainable, and ready for regulatory review.

Claims processing

Automate claims validation and reimbursement calculations. Rules ensure consistency and speed, while workflows handle exceptions, reducing delays and manual rework.

Eligibility checks

Apply rules to determine patient eligibility for programs or coverage. Changes to regulations can be updated quickly in natural language, reducing IT bottlenecks and keeping systems aligned with policy.

Fraud detection and prevention

Combine machine learning models with deterministic rules to flag suspicious claims or billing patterns. Guardrails and thresholds maintain transparency for regulators.

Regulatory compliance

Externalize decision logic from application code to create auditable, versioned rules. This ensures compliance with healthcare standards like CMS and MITA while enabling rapid updates when requirements change.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions from our community

Which healthcare processes are most often automated?

Common areas include claims processing, eligibility determination, fraud detection, compliance checks, and reimbursement calculations.

How does automation help with regulatory compliance?

By externalizing logic into governed, auditable rules, every decision is logged and explainable. InRule supports transparency with Visual Trace, Rule Application Reports, and regression testing logs, making it easier to demonstrate compliance to regulators.

Can automation improve claims cycle times?

Yes. Routine validations can run automatically, while exceptions are routed to caseworkers. This reduces manual review time and ensures claims are processed faster and more consistently.

How does automation support fraud detection?

Machine learning models identify suspicious patterns, while rules apply thresholds and constraints to keep fraud detection explainable and regulatory-ready.
