Oracle Health AI Streamlines Payer Provider Collaboration

Oracle Health announced a new suite of AI-driven applications aimed at reducing administrative burdens and costs in healthcare, particularly between payers and providers. The solutions, unveiled at the Oracle Health and Life Sciences Summit in Orlando, Florida, target a $200 billion annual problem tied to billing and insurance inefficiencies.

Key Highlights

• AI Agents for Efficiency: Specialized AI agents will automate processes like prior authorizations, eligibility verification, and claims processing, reducing errors and speeding up care delivery.
• Cost Reduction: By embedding payer-specific rules into workflows, the solutions aim to cut administrative costs and minimize denials, potentially saving millions industry-wide.
• Value-Based Care Support: Integration with Oracle Health Data Intelligence will help providers close care gaps and improve performance in value-based contracts.

Focus Areas

1. Prior Authorization: AI agents will auto-detect needs, prefill forms, and submit requests digitally, eliminating faxes and follow-ups.
2. Eligibility Verification: Providers can access real-time coverage details to avoid surprise billing, while payers benefit from accurate claims submissions.
3. Medical Coding: Autonomous agents will generate codes, reducing errors and aligning with payer guidelines.
4. Claims Processing: AI tools will ensure clean claims submission, streamlining reimbursement workflows.
