nThrive software robots or “bots” are customized to hospital needs, automating an exhaustive list of processes, including, but not limited to:
- Denial requests for medical records.
- Missing Internal Claim Number (ICN) / Document Control Number (CDN) claim.
- Eligibility research.
- Billing edits.
- Prior authorization submission/tracking and more.
Early adopters of nThrive RPA technology have achieved significant efficiency gains. In the area of claims management, one client in the Midwest estimated that it took a person a little over three minutes to determine if a certain field of information was available to enable release of a rebill. The bot was able to do the same amount of work in less than 20 seconds, resulting in a return on investment of 365-583%.
