The Transformation to Real-Time Intelligence: How Clinical Data, AI, and New PI Capabilities are Accelerating the Pre-Pay Shift | Kisaco Research
Clinical data is becoming the foundation that enables payment integrity to evolve from payment recovery to prevention, impacting payment accuracy and broader healthcare affordability goals. But this shift requires transforming how clinical data, AI, PI processes and people are aligned. Through a case study example, payment integrity and clinical data leaders from BCBS of South Carolina will discuss an innovative approach to using real-time clinical data to generate their own ‘claims’ to guide pre-payment reviews. Key topics will include:
  • Developing a roadmap for effective clinical data integration into pre-pay PI decision making and workflows
  • Reimagining the PI process – new capabilities, collaboration, and upscaling staff
  • Lessons learned while shifting from traditional post-pay operations and governance
