Hospital Claims Processing & Submission
Discharge to insurer in hours, not days. With a first-pass rate that protects your cash flow.
Every day a claim sits unsubmitted is a day of working capital your hospital has financed for the insurer. Worse, every claim that goes out with a documentation gap, a coding error or a missing pre-authorisation comes back as a query, a denial or a deduction. Our Claims Processing & Submission service runs the entire post-discharge claim pipeline — assembly, verification, coding validation, eligibility check, format compliance and multi-portal submission — to get claims out fast and right the first time.
Where Hospitals Lose Revenue
Slow, error-prone claim submission is the single biggest controllable drag on hospital cash flow. The usual reasons:
Document chase
Billing chases consultants, OT, pharmacy and lab to assemble a complete file long after discharge.
Inconsistent coding
Without a dedicated coding step, claims go out with either generic or mismatched ICD/procedure codes.
Missed pre-authorisation
Cashless claims submitted without verifying the pre-auth limit, leading to predictable deductions.
Format & portal errors
Each insurer and TPA has its own portal, format, attachment rule and field requirement; small mismatches reject the claim outright.
Manual eligibility checks
Policy validity, sum-insured balance and waiting-period checks done by hand introduce delay and error.
Unequal queue priority
High-value claims sit behind older small-ticket claims because there's no policy-aware prioritisation.
No status visibility
Finance has to call the billing team to find out which claims are submitted, queried, paid or pending.
Every one of these is fixable with the right process, the right team and the right tooling — which is exactly what we deploy.
An End-To-End, SLA-Backed Claim Submission Pipeline
We embed a dedicated claims processing pod into your post-discharge workflow. The pod includes a billing reviewer, a certified medical coder, a documentation specialist and a TPA submission expert — supported by a workflow platform that orchestrates each claim through clearly-defined SLA-bound stages.
Every claim is verified against three checklists before submission: documentation completeness, coding accuracy and insurer-specific format compliance. Pre-authorisation status, sum-insured balance and policy validity are confirmed in real time. Wherever the claim is short on documentation or weak on coding, the pod flags it back to the originating department within hours, not days.
Submission happens through the right channel for each insurer or TPA — portal, EDI, email or physical handover — with every claim tracked from despatch to acknowledgement and on to settlement. Your finance team gets a single live dashboard showing exactly where every claim is in the cycle, what's blocking it, and what's already settled.
The result: first-pass acceptance routinely above 90%, average claim turnaround compressed by 30–60%, and predictable working capital cycles your CFO can plan against.
