Post and reconcile payments

Automates✓ Available Now

What You Do Today

You post insurance payments and patient payments to accounts, reconcile remittance advice against expected reimbursement, and investigate discrepancies.

AI That Applies

AI automates payment posting from electronic remittance advice, flags underpayments against contracted rates, and reconciles balances across systems.

Technologies

How It Works

The system ingests electronic remittance advice as its primary data source. The automation engine executes each step in the process sequence — validating inputs, applying business rules, generating outputs, and routing exceptions to human review queues. The results integrate into the practitioner's existing workflow — presenting recommendations, flags, or automated outputs alongside their normal working context.

What Changes

Routine payment posting is fully automated — you focus on underpayments, contractual discrepancies, and complex adjustments.

What Stays

Investigating why a payer paid less than contracted, working with the managed care team on contract issues, and resolving the complex payment scenarios.

What To Do Next

This section won't tell you what your numbers should be. It will show you how to find them yourself. Every instruction below produces a real, verifiable result in your organization. No benchmarks, no projections — just the steps to build your own evidence.

1

Establish Your Baseline

Know where you are before you move

Before adopting AI tools for post and reconcile payments, understand your current state.

•
Map your current process: Document how post and reconcile payments works today — who does what, how long it takes, where the bottlenecks are. You need this baseline to measure improvement.
•
Identify the judgment points: Investigating why a payer paid less than contracted, working with the managed care team on contract issues, and resolving the complex payment scenarios. These are the boundaries AI won't cross.
•
Assess your data readiness: AI tools for this area need data to work. Check whether your organization has the historical data, integrations, and data quality to support Auto-Posting AI tools.

Without a baseline, you can't measure whether AI actually improved anything. You'll adopt tools without knowing if they're working.

Define Your Measures

What to track and how to calculate it

Time per cycle

How to calculate

Measure how long post and reconcile payments takes end-to-end today, then after AI adoption.

Why it matters

The most visible improvement is speed. If AI doesn't save time, question whether it's adding value.

Quality of output

How to calculate

Track error rates, rework frequency, or stakeholder satisfaction scores before and after.

Why it matters

Speed without quality is just faster mistakes. Measure both.

When to check: Check after 30 days of consistent use, then quarterly.
The commitment: Give new tools at least 30 days before judging. The first week is always awkward.
What NOT to measure: Don't measure AI adoption rate as a KPI. Adoption follows value — if the tool helps, people use it.
