by Lucas 46 views

Overview

We're building a comprehensive suite of AI-powered healthcare business management tools as commercial SaaS products. Guys, this is going to be huge! We're talking advanced contract analysis, denials management, and KPI dashboards – all designed to make life easier for healthcare providers and practices. This platform will streamline operations, improve revenue cycle management, and provide actionable insights to drive better decision-making. Get ready to dive deep into the details of this awesome project!

Business Requirements

Okay, let's break down what this platform needs to do. We've got three core tools we're focusing on:

1. Contract Analysis Tool ("The Golden Grid")

This is where the AI magic really starts. We're talking about AI-powered extraction and management of critical payer contract data. Think of it as your one-stop shop for everything you need to know about your contracts. The goal here is to automate the tedious process of sifting through contracts and pulling out the important stuff. No more manual data entry! This tool will provide a centralized, searchable database of contract terms, deadlines, and requirements, empowering healthcare providers to negotiate better contracts and ensure compliance. Here's a more detailed look at the core data we'll be extracting:

Core Data Extraction

  • Payer Contact Information: We're talking representative details and contact methods. Imagine having all the right contacts at your fingertips, ready to help you resolve issues quickly. No more hunting down phone numbers or email addresses – it's all right there.
  • Timely Filing Deadlines: This is crucial for getting paid on time! We'll track:
    • New claim submission deadlines.
    • Appeal filing deadlines. Missing these deadlines can lead to denials and lost revenue, so this feature is a total game-changer.
  • Prior Authorization Requirements: Nobody likes dealing with prior auths, but they're a necessary evil. We'll outline the rules and procedures, making it easier to get approvals and avoid delays. This includes a clear understanding of what services require authorization, the documentation needed, and the specific steps to follow.
  • Claim Adjudication Timelines: Let's get paid faster! We'll keep tabs on:
    • Payment timeline for clean claims.
    • Interest calculations for late payments.
    • Denial response deadlines. Knowing these timelines helps you track payments and hold payers accountable for timely reimbursement. We will also be able to identify trends and patterns in payment behavior.
  • Claim Edit Classifications: We'll identify the types and rules applied, so you can understand why claims might be denied or adjusted. Understanding these edits will allow for proactive adjustments in billing practices, reducing the likelihood of future denials and improving the clean claim rate.
  • Fee Schedules: This is where the money's at! We'll break down:
    • Base fee schedule details.
    • Client payment rates vs fee schedule.
    • Medicare jurisdiction comparisons. Knowing your fee schedules inside and out is key to maximizing revenue and negotiating fair contracts. We'll also incorporate the ability to model different payment scenarios and understand the financial impact of contract changes.
  • Provider Credentialing: Credentialing can be a huge headache. We'll track:
    • Requirements and timelines.
    • Department contacts.
    • Forms management system. Keeping up with credentialing is essential for maintaining provider network participation and ensuring timely reimbursement. We'll streamline the process, making it easier to manage and track credentials for all providers.

2. Denials Analysis Dashboard

Denials are a major pain point for healthcare providers. This comprehensive denial tracking and analytics dashboard will help you understand why claims are being denied and what you can do about it. We're talking about digging deep into the data to uncover trends and patterns, so you can proactively address issues and prevent future denials. This tool will provide a visual and interactive way to explore denial data, making it easier to identify root causes and implement corrective actions. Let's turn those denials into revenue!

  • Multi-Dimensional Analysis: We'll slice and dice the data in all sorts of ways:
    • By denial reason with billed charges.
    • By expected reimbursement.
    • By denied quantity. This multi-faceted approach will give you a holistic view of your denial landscape.
  • Segmentation Views: Get granular with:
    • CPT code analysis.
    • Location/Department breakdown.
    • Provider-specific metrics.
    • Payor-specific patterns. These segmentations will help you pinpoint specific areas for improvement.
  • Predictive Analytics: We'll use AI to predict potential denials and help you prevent them before they happen. This is like having a crystal ball for your revenue cycle!

3. Complete KPI Dashboard

Knowledge is power, and this 12-month rolling visual metrics dashboard will give you the knowledge you need to run your practice like a pro. We're talking key performance indicators (KPIs) at your fingertips, presented in a clear and easy-to-understand format. This dashboard will provide a comprehensive overview of your practice's financial and operational performance, allowing you to track progress, identify areas for improvement, and make data-driven decisions. Get ready to take control of your practice's success!

  • Financial Metrics: Let's talk money:
    • Revenue by payor, location, provider (120+ days aging).
    • Days in AR tracking.
    • Charges, Adjustments, Payments.
    • Self-pay balances and collections. Understanding your financial performance is critical for long-term sustainability.
  • Operational Metrics: How efficient are you?
    • Denial percentages by classification and CPT.
    • Payor mix by practice and provider.
    • Charge lag analysis.
    • Unbilled appointments tracking. These metrics will help you identify bottlenecks and streamline your operations.
  • Provider Productivity: Are your providers performing at their best?
    • wRVUs tracking.
    • Payments per wRVU.
    • Patients per day (surgical vs clinic). This data will help you optimize provider schedules and improve productivity.
  • Access Metrics: How easy is it for patients to get appointments?
    • Days to next available (new, established, surgery). Improving access is key to patient satisfaction and practice growth.
  • Ancillary Services: Let's track that revenue!
    • Revenue tracking. Understanding the contribution of ancillary services to your overall revenue is essential for strategic planning.

Technical Architecture

Okay, tech geeks, this is for you! Here's a peek under the hood of our platform:
