Summary (abstract)

The current Denial Management process in RCM is heavily manual, involving agents reviewing EOBs, identifying denial codes, categorizing reasons, and initiating appeals or corrections. Basic automations like work queue routing and status tracking exist, but most critical thinking, data interpretation, and follow-ups remain human-dependent.

Detailed problem statement

The current Denial Management process in RCM is heavily manual, involving agents reviewing EOBs, identifying denial codes, categorizing reasons, and initiating appeals or corrections. Basic automations like work queue routing and status tracking exist, but most critical thinking, data interpretation, and follow-ups remain human-dependent.
Challenges in Current System (for Agentic Automation):
• Unstructured Data Handling: Denial data from EOBs, payer portals, and historical notes is often in free-text or scanned format, difficult for automation to interpret.
• Contextual Decision-Making: Manual agents rely on nuanced judgment to decide next steps, which basic bots can’t replicate.
• Lack of Real-time Insights: Limited analytics and trend prediction hinder proactive denial prevention.
• Process Fragmentation: Disconnected systems and data silos reduce automation efficiency.
• No Feedback Loop: Manual systems lack a learning mechanism to improve over time.

Detailed solution

Implement Agentic AI using UiPath to automate the end-to-end Denial Management process with intelligent, goal-driven agents.
Key Components:
• AI Extraction Agent: Uses UiPath Document Understanding to extract denial data from EOBs and portals.
• Denial Classification Agent: Identifies denial types and recommends resolution paths using AI models.
• Appeal & Follow-up Agent: Auto-generates appeal letters, submits follow-ups, and tracks responses.
• Root Cause Agent: Analyzes denial trends and flags systemic issues for correction.
• Learning Loop: Agents learn from outcomes and improve over time using UiPath AI Center.
• Orchestration: UiPath Orchestrator manages agent collaboration, with human validation via Action Center when needed.
Benefits:
• Reduces manual effort by 70–90%
• Speeds up resolution with intelligent decisions
• Improves accuracy and denial prevention
• Enables scalable, 24/7 operations
