Claim 4471, priced before it goes outIllustrative data

The payer pays $172. The remittance lands inside the predicted range.

Claim 4471, priced before it goes out. 1. Claim 4471 arrives as a standard 837P. Nothing new to produce. 2. Bundling, units and diagnosis validity are checked before it goes out. 3. The line is priced on the fee schedule in effect that day, and against this payer’s history. 4. Expected payment $172, range $158–$186, denial risk 2.4%. An estimate, not payer approval. 5. The payer pays $172. The remittance lands inside the predicted range. Illustrative, synthetic data.

MS-DRG, via the CMS reference grouper.

Prediction figures were measured out-of-fold on one urgent-care provider’s ~5-year de-identified claims history (17,463 insurance lines); the model calibrates to each provider’s own payers over time, so they are not a guaranteed rate. Grouper throughput: 20,000 claims on a single 2-vCPU container, zero errors.

FAQ

Buyer questions.

How is this different from a clearinghouse?
A clearinghouse relays answers after submission; the engine predicts them before. It sends through Stedi, with Claim.MD as backup.
How accurate is it?
On one provider’s five-year history, 95–97% of ranges contained the paid amount, about $49 off per line. It calibrates to your payers; it isn’t a guaranteed rate.
Is the DRG assignment defensible?
Yes. It runs the official CMS grouper by discharge date, so it matches Medicare and is reproducible.
Commercial payers too?
Yes. Medicare is priced from rules; commercial payers from their history. Thin history means rules only.
Do we replace our EHR?
No. The engine runs inside VAERION or beside your system via X12 or an API.
Can it run on our PHI?
Yes. It’s live inside the AWS PHI boundary under a BAA. A demo needs only a de-identified sample.
