Human for Special Surgery: Automation of insurance rejection claims
Evidence level measures whether a source can be located and reviewed; it does not mean vendor-reported claims were independently audited.

Business problem
Insurance rejection claims require manual reading of materials, reconciliation of claims and preparation of claims, and individual claims take a long time.
Solution
AIP deals with unstructured claim materials, links claim data and organizational rules, and generates recommendations for action by the appeals coordinator.

The complainant reviewed the evidence and finally submitted it.
FDE delivery actions
- Work with the first line of insurance claims to complete the process and identify nodes that really require decision-making rather than presentation of data
- Collapse decentralized data sources, competencies and business terms into a single, operational Ontology
- Combine business rules, optimization models, LLM and traditional software according to a reliable boundary, instead of letting the LLM operate
- Insert recommendations directly into existing operating workstations and design approvals, rejections, upgrades and write back to Action
- Continue to modify Ontology, rules and automation with operational KPI acceptance and feedback
Reusable delivery patterns
- Let's be clear about the client, the relationship, the state and the action, and then talk about Agent.
- The recommendation must enter the executable stream, otherwise it's just another dashboard.
- High-value deployment is often a combination of data integration + rules/ optimization + AI + Human-in-the-lop
- Continuous rewriting of the results of implementation to build cumulative operational memory
Business outcomes & delivery results
Official Business Update stated that approximately 45 minutes of manual work had been reduced to approximately 5 minutes, which should be constructed within 5 weeks.
Evidence boundaries & verification notes
- AIPCon 8/Business Update clearly discloses a 45-minute five-week construction cycle.
- The source can be directly located in the case; the value remains disclosed by the source and does not represent an independent audit.
