Agentic AI for health plan claims operations: utilization management, payment integrity and appeals agents that read full medical records against plan policy and clinical criteria, cite their sources, and route complex cases to clinicians for validation.

Alaffia Health builds AI agents for health plan claims operations.

Three agents cover the payer workflow: Utilization Management agents pre-process prospective, concurrent and retrospective reviews, ED, level of care and specialty pharmacy requests, routing clear approvals for immediate processing and flagging complex cases; Payment Integrity agents handle DRG clinical validation, medical necessity, readmission and short stay reviews; and Appeals agents evaluate documentation, apply policy and draft evidence-backed responses for pre and post service, level of care and DRG and coding appeals.

The agents digitize thousands of pages of medical records and itemized bills, apply the plan's policies and clinical criteria, and attach a clinical rationale with traceable citations linking back to the records and policy documents to every recommendation, and clinicians validate the output.

Alaffia works in prepay and postpay workflows, integrates with existing claims systems, goes live in about 30 days, and offers a managed service alongside the platform; Ask Autodor, its generative assistant, summarizes records and sources guidelines for reviewers. The vendor states SOC 2 Type 2, HITRUST and HIPAA, MFA and role-based access, and that client data stays in the client's environment and is never used with third-party models; it reports 97%+ accuracy across implementations.

In practice

Your clinical review team is buried in itemized bills and medical records, and claims sit for weeks before anyone can validate them. Alaffia digitizes the records, cross references each claim against the full patient chart, and routes only the valuable cases to a clinician.

Automated denial tools save money but invite provider disputes and regulatory scrutiny because no one can explain them. Alaffia grounds every recommendation in verifiable record data with a clinical rationale and a clinician signoff, so findings hold up.

You want to scale payment integrity without hiring an army of reviewers. Alaffia automates routine cases and delivers more than twenty percent average savings on high cost facility claims while your clinicians focus on the complex ones.

Inference, not stated by the vendor: review volume or savings delivered.

What is public

Billing mechanics

Not published; sold through sales as a platform or managed service.

Cost watchouts

Inference, not stated by the vendor: a savings-share or per-claim structure would scale with volume; confirm how the managed service prices against the platform.

Variable cost rationale

Inference, not stated by the vendor: pricing likely tracks claims reviewed or savings recovered, so cost would grow with volume; the managed service adds a services component.

Additional watchouts

Confirm whether pricing is a savings share, per claim, or subscription, how the fully managed service prices against the platform, and how cost scales with claims volume.

Sales call required

Yes, required for paid access

Free / trial

Key ambiguities

No public rate is disclosed, and the split between a savings share, per claim pricing, and platform subscription is not clear, nor how the managed service prices against the platform.
