Healthcare Claims Classification

95% accuracy · 42,900+ claims

Production classification system (CatBoost, XGBoost, AutoGluon) at 95% accuracy across 42,900+ claims with daily feedback-loop retraining, paired with a denial-prediction and First-Time Pass Rate module that cut the denial rate from 3.2% to 2.4%.

Problem

Healthcare claims arrive in volume and denials are slow and costly. Claims had to be sorted into categories automatically, and denials predicted before resubmission.

Approach

  1. CatBoost, XGBoost and AutoGluon models for parent and category classification
  2. Daily feedback-loop retraining from staff corrections
  3. Rule-based First-Time Pass Rate module comparing rejected against corrected or paid claims by provider, payer, CPT and ICD code
  4. Validation agent that layers rule-based checks with generated root-cause analysis and corrective actions for each flagged case
Healthcare Claims Classification workflow: 4 stages from input to result
