Caring. Connecting. Growing together. In support of AI 10.0 Scaling and leveraging AI to apply processing rules directly from source documentation via enterprise assets, we're adding resources to our Claim Edit Hub team. This team will work to derive rules/edits directly from source documents (i.e. Policies) and expose them via Agentic workflow to make them accessible in a real time manner. This will also support our "shift left" strategy to enable claim edits/rules to be executed on Trial Claims to provide transparent cost estimates to Providers and Members.
