Automating Claims and Payment Status Inquiries in Healthcare

Business Problem

A leading healthcare provider faced mounting inefficiencies in handling claims and payment status inquiries with insurance carriers. Internal staff spent excessive time on hold—up to 30 minutes per call—leading to burnout, incomplete follow-ups, and delayed workflows. These manual processes significantly impacted operational throughput, staff morale, and the organization’s ability to scale and take on larger client accounts. Additionally, reliance on voice calls for status updates hindered real-time visibility and created friction in the revenue cycle.
 
The organization required a voice and process automation solution to eliminate wait times, enhance operational efficiency, and improve decision-making with minimal dependency on human resources.
 

Business Solution

Pronix Inc. implemented a voice-enabled AI automation framework to transform the claims interaction process. The solution eliminated the need for staff to manually call carriers by automating inbound and outbound claim/payment status interactions via intelligent voice systems. It also enabled omnichannel access for real-time status updates across web and mobile touchpoints.

The intelligent automation platform provided seamless handoffs for complex cases, ensuring smooth escalation without data loss. Through contextual workflows and natural language interactions, the client achieved faster turnaround, reduced manual workload, and greater scalability.
