The challenge

Appeals reviewers spent the majority of the case on evidence assembly, not clinical judgment. Missed CMS turnaround windows drew corrective-action plans, and evidence artifacts sat across four repositories.

Our approach

Step 01

Evidence assembly agent

Pulled every relevant clinical, policy and prior-decision artifact into a single reviewer packet — with citations.

Step 02

Overturn-likelihood surfacing

Model surfaced a probability of overturn and the evidence that drove it — reviewer decided, not the model.

Step 03

Reviewer workbench

Physician and nurse reviewers annotated the packet in place; annotations became the audit trail.

Step 04

NCQA-formatted audit export

One-click export of the appeal file in NCQA-audit-ready format.

Step 05

CMS turnaround guardrails

Live SLA countdown per case with escalation triggers — missed turnarounds became a preventable exception, not a monthly discovery.
