PITTSBURGH, March 21, 2023 – PNC Treasury Management today announced the availability of PNC Claim Predictor, a new artificial intelligence and machine learning solution that helps healthcare organizations proactively identify inaccurate or undercompleted insurance claims prior to submission.
The process of filing insurance claims has been a challenge for healthcare organizations for years and has resulted in lost revenue, extended deadlines and the diversion of critical resources. On average, insurers initially reject nearly $5 million per provider1 in claims, resulting in either lost or compromised revenue for healthcare organizations. Additionally, it costs nearly $100 per application to revise and resubmit applications2, so it is not surprising that 45% of rejected applications are never resubmitted3.
“We saw that our healthcare customers could benefit from an efficient way to address the challenges they continue to face when filing claims, and that is precisely why we created PNC Claim Predictor to help them address the challenges problems,” said Doug McKinley, senior vice president and head of innovation for PNC Treasury Management. “We are committed to constantly developing new and innovative offerings through our treasury management platform to create flexible, secure, seamless and customizable solutions that help our clients run their businesses more effectively and meet the needs of their own clients .”
Leveraging machine learning technology, PNC Claim Predictor uses historical data from submitted claims, allowing it to “learn” the claim attributes and associated patterns from organizations – allowing the solution to predict which future claims are likely to be rejected and what type of information Healthcare organizations need to obtain so they can correct claims prior to filing. The ultimate goal is to save healthcare organizations time and money and avoid lost revenue. An additional feature of the new solution is that it can be integrated with the existing electronic medical record system of an organization like Epic. So there is no need to switch between systems or have separate logins, dashboards, etc. PNC Claim Predictor offers a seamless user experience.
