AI for Insurance Eligibility & Verification
The agent runs eligibility checks over the X12 270/271 transaction in real time, reads the dense benefit response into a clear coverage summary, and flags inactive plans, co-pays, and prior-auth needs before the patient arrives.

Trusted by global innovators
Coverage surprises start at the front desk
Eligibility verification is high-volume, repetitive, and error-prone: staff log into payer portals or read raw 271 responses one patient at a time, and the details that matter — an inactive plan, an unmet deductible, a service needing prior authorization — get missed under time pressure, becoming front-end denials, surprise bills, and rework. The agent automates the check: it sends the X12 270 inquiry, parses the 271 response — plan status, coverage dates, co-pay, deductible, service-level benefits — into a plain summary, and flags what needs attention before the visit. Staff act on the flags; ambiguous or inactive-plan cases route to a human, never assumed.

Reference architecture for how this agent connects to your EHR and data systems.
Key Capabilities
Real-time eligibility automation grounded in the X12 270/271 transaction — no portal logins.
Real-time 270/271 checks
Sends the X12 270 inquiry and reads the 271 response electronically — verification in seconds, not a portal login.
Benefit-response parsing
Turns the dense 271 into a clear summary — plan status, effective dates, co-pay, deductible, out-of-pocket, and service-level benefits.
Coverage-gap flagging
Highlights inactive coverage, unmet deductibles, out-of-network status, and services that need prior authorization before the visit.
Batch pre-visit verification
Runs eligibility across tomorrow's schedule in a batch and queues only the exceptions for staff.
Who runs it
Deployment scenarios
The same agent, wherever eligibility errors turn into denials.
Central RCM teams
High-volume pre-visit verification across many locations from one queue.
Specialty & infusion clinics
Benefit and prior-auth checks for high-cost services before they are delivered.
Hospital pre-registration
Coverage confirmation and estimate inputs ahead of scheduled procedures.
Expected impact once the agent is live
Directional impact, validated per deployment rather than guaranteed.

How It Works
Query → parse → flag → write back
A four-stage pipeline that verifies coverage before the visit and routes only what needs a human.
1.
Capture the patient & plan
The agent reads scheduled patients and their plan information from the EHR over FHIR and prepares the eligibility inquiry for each visit.
FHIR R4 intake
2.
Send 270 & parse 271
It transmits the X12 270 inquiry and parses the 271 response into structured benefits, flagging low-confidence fields rather than guessing.
270/271 transaction
3.
Flag & human review
Coverage gaps and exceptions are surfaced to front-desk or RCM staff, who confirm status — no coverage is assumed.
Sign-off on exceptions
4.
Write back to the EHR
Verified benefits, co-pay, deductible status, and flags are written to registration and the encounter so billing starts from accurate data.

Compliance & Guardrails
15-Minute Scoping CallGuardrails on every check
In healthcare, the guardrails matter as much as the capability.
PHI handling
Patient and plan data stay in HIPAA-ready, encrypted infrastructure under a BAA, with minimum-necessary data in each 270 inquiry.
Human-in-the-loop
Ambiguous and inactive-plan results route to staff to confirm; the agent verifies and summarizes, it does not assume coverage.
Explainability
Each summary links back to the exact 271 segments it came from, so staff can verify a benefit against the raw response.
Audit logging
Every 270 sent, 271 received, flag raised, and write-back is timestamped and attributed.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. Patient and plan data stay in HIPAA-ready, encrypted infrastructure under a signed BAA, with minimum-necessary data in each 270 inquiry and full audit logging of every transaction and write-back.
