Problem Statement

Manual patient eligibility checks consumed 15–20 minutes of front-desk morning roster preparation every single day. Patient arrivals were delayed by live verification queries, and duplicate prior-authorization filings caused wasted administrative effort.

Architecture & Verification Flow

Engineered an overnight batch verification queue and pre-verification cache that queries payer clearinghouses ahead of time. Designed duplicate-detection logic to track active prior-authorizations and flag renewals automatically.

Business Outcome

Achieved instantaneous <3 second front-desk check-in responses, eliminated manual morning roster checks, and routed routine clearances automatically, liberating front-desk staff to focus on exception handling.

Key Engineering & Operational Highlights

Daily Roster Checks (15–20 Mins → 0 Mins Target): Replaced manual morning roster checks with scheduled overnight batch verification ahead of clinic opening.
Front-Desk Check-In (<3 Seconds Target): Implemented pre-verification caching designed to cut front-desk check-in waiting time down to under 3 seconds.
Duplicate Filing Prevention: Built tracking logic to prevent duplicate prior-authorization filings, eliminating repetitive cross-checking effort.
Targeted Touchless Automation (80%+ Target): Automated routine eligibility lookups so front-desk and billing staff only intervene on genuine exceptions.
Modular Reusable Architecture: Engineered as a standalone, pluggable module that can be embedded into existing platforms or deployed independently.
