Revenue cycle data, run by agents

Denials, charge capture and AR reports pull from the EHR, billing and clearinghouse systems, and every month-end someone reconciles them by hand. Here is how Data Workers runs it instead.

Key takeaways

  • •The problem today. Denials, charge capture and AR reports pull from the EHR, billing and clearinghouse systems, and every month-end someone reconciles them by hand.
  • •What changes. Agents tie charges, claims, remits and denials together on every load and trace leakage to its source.
  • •What stays with your people. Write-offs and financial reporting inputs: they hit the P&L.
  • •The result. Leakage is found weekly, not at month-end.

The problem today

Denials, charge capture and AR reports pull from the EHR, billing and clearinghouse systems, and every month-end someone reconciles them by hand.

What changes with Data Workers

Agents tie charges, claims, remits and denials together on every load and trace leakage to its source.

The workflow: Connectors agent (get_connector_status) → Quality Monitoring agent (run_quality_check) → Incident Debugging agent (get_root_cause) → Data Context & Catalog agent (define_business_rule).
Fig. 1:The workflow: Connectors agent (get_connector_status) → Quality Monitoring agent (run_quality_check) → Incident Debugging agent (get_root_cause) → Data Context & Catalog agent (define_business_rule).

The workflow, step by step

  1. 1.The Connectors agent calls get_connector_status and lands billing and clearinghouse files.
  2. 2.The Quality Monitoring agent calls run_quality_check and ties charges to claims and remits.
  3. 3.The Incident Debugging agent calls get_root_cause and traces denial spikes.
  4. 4.The Data Context & Catalog agent calls define_business_rule and governs denial and AR definitions.

The impact metrics we move

  • •Charge-to-claim tie-out: from about a week to 15-20 min
  • •Denial spike traced: from about 3 days to ~1 h
  • •AR aging report: from about 2 days to ~1 h

What goes on autopilot

  • •Charges, claims and remits are tied on every load, so leakage is visible the week it happens.
  • •Denial categories are governed, so finance and RCM agree.

Where your people stay in charge

Write-offs and financial reporting inputs always go to a named approver, because they hit the P&L. Everything starts at L1, observing only, and autonomy rises only on evidence.

The pilot

  • •Scope. Charge-to-remit tie-out for one hospital.
  • •First week. Agents run at L1, observing only, and show the fixes they would have made, with receipts.
  • •By week two. The routine work above runs on its own; anything sensitive stays with a named approver.
  • •At day 30. We review the impact metrics against your baseline:
  • •Charge-to-claim tie-out: from about a week to 15-20 min
  • •Denial spike traced: from about 3 days to ~1 h
  • •AR aging report: from about 2 days to ~1 h
  • •Cost. Start with a pilot ($7,500 one-time, credited in full against the first year). Scale is from $1,000 a month and Enterprise from $3,000 a month, billed annually, with unlimited seats, no usage meter and no markup on model spend. See pricing.
