Claims that stopped living in email threads.

The problem

Insurance claims moved between hospital, patient and insurer through email, phone calls and physical paperwork. Nobody could answer where a specific claim had reached without asking someone who might be off shift, and the documentation attached to a claim varied depending on who had assembled it.

The cost showed up twice. Staff spent hours a day on status-chasing calls that produced no clinical value, and claims were rejected for missing documents that had been requested but never tracked.

What we did

The engagement opened by mapping the claim lifecycle as it actually ran: every state a claim could be in, who could move it, and what documentation each transition required. That map, not the software, was the first deliverable.

The platform was then built around it. Document verification moved to a single intake point, so a claim could not progress without the paperwork its next stage required. Pre-authorisation, historically the most opaque stage, got its own dashboard view. Every claim carries a status that the hospital, the coordinator and the patient-facing team can all read.

Because this is clinical and financial data, the access model, encryption and audit trail were designed at the start rather than added later, with the security posture aligned to ISO/IEC 27001:2022 as part of the build.

The outcome

Status-chasing calls were replaced by a screen. Document rejection stopped being discovered at the insurer and started being caught at intake, where it costs minutes instead of weeks.

The less visible result is that the claim lifecycle is now written down. It survives staff turnover, and a new coordinator can learn the process from the system rather than from whoever has been doing it longest.
