End-To-End Automated DRG Audit

Optimize Accuracy, Maximize Savings: Transform Your DRG Processes and Operations with Intelligent Automation, Equipped with Detailed Rationale to Minimize Appeals

Level 1- DRG assignment accuracy SPAI’s advanced DRG model reviews claim data as submitted, identifying inaccuracies in DRG assignments based on industry grouping methodologies. It automatically adjusts to the correct DRG when discrepancies are found.
Example: The following claim was received in postpay, where the health plan had paid for APR DRG 9513. However, the correct APR DRG is 3443; therefore, SPAI PI flagged the claim and corrected the DRG automatically.
Level 2 - Coding Guideline Adherence SPAI delves into the medical coding within claims to identify discrepancies with clinical and coding guidelines. It then corrects these errors, ensuring alignment with the appropriate DRG.
Example: Claim number: XXXXX
Claim Paid Amount: $22,580.22
Gynisus Recommended DRG: 981
Listed violations: Excludes 1
Violation Details:
Codes Kept 1st violation: P72.1
Codes Removed 1st violation: E05.11
Advanced: Pdx Appropriateness With our advanced capabilities, SPAI uses a multi-modal approach, integrating claims data with clinical insights to assess relationships between conditions and procedures. It identifies instances where the primary diagnosis may not accurately reflect the patient's reason for the visit.
Example: A postpay claim in which the health plan had paid for APR DRG 2633 was reviewed. After a detailed analysis using the SPAI PI multimodal process to assess Pdx appropriateness, the recommendation was to modify the Principal Diagnosis (Pdx) from K85.10 to K80.00, thereby changing the APR DRG to 3443.
Clinical Validation (DRG Level): With our advanced capabilities, SPAI uses a multi-modal approach, integrating claims data with clinical insights to assess relationships between conditions and procedures. It identifies
Example: A postpay claim for APR DRG 470 (Hip Replacement) was reviewed using the SPAI PI pipeline. The claim lacked CPT or revenue codes for preoperative imaging and ICD-10 codes supporting the necessity of the surgery. Due to insufficient supporting codes, the claim was flagged for regrouping and further review.
Deliverables: SPAI provides claim-level and line-level flags, offering suggested DRG changes along with detailed explanations. Data Inputs: Claims data only—no additional history required.

Automated Coding Editing

Our Enhanced National Correct Coding Initiative (NCCI) Editing solution takes automation to the next level, streamlining every step from PTP editing validation to MUE and AOC checks. Powered by advanced automated technology, it delivers fast, precise, and reliable results, ensuring unmatched speed, accuracy, and consistency across the board.
Example: A claim including codes 99213-25, 17110-XU, 17000-XU, and 17003 was flagged by SPAI PI for the line with code 17110-XU due to an NCCI PTP edit. Per guidelines, overlapping services on the same site cannot be billed together.
Deliverables: SPAI provides claim-level and line-level flags, offering suggested DRG changes along with detailed explanations. Data Inputs: Claims data only—no additional history required.

Clinical Integrity

Uncover Opportunities and Savings Driven by Clinical Integrity and Medical Necessity

Using our multi-modal pipeline, which utilizes claims data and clinical understanding to evaluate the relationships between all conditions and procedures, then applies its experience and clinical rationale to identify discrepancies and opportunities.

Promote Evidence Based Reporting

Our solution meticulously identifies any discrepancies or contradictions between incoming claims and a patient’s clinical condition or the actual occurrences during their visit. By ensuring that claims align with established clinical and medical coding guidelines, as well as industry standards and best practices, we help prevent inaccuracies that could lead to overpayments or denials, fostering compliance and precision in claim submissions.

We leverage a powerful multi-modal pipeline to evaluate each case, combining claims data with deep clinical understanding. This advanced approach analyzes the relationships between all conditions and procedures, applying clinical expertise and rationale to pinpoint areas of discrepancy. The result is a thorough and accurate review process that identifies inconsistencies and supports more effective, evidence-based claim handling.

Example: Claim Number: XXXXX
Claim Paid Amount: $15,988.12
Gynisus Recommendation: Medical Record Review
Rationale:

Oligohydramnios (code O41.03X0) was reported alongside the drainage of water (code 10E0XZZ), which presents a contradictory indication. Hence, we recommend querying the provider for clarification.

  • Claim reports Oligohydramnios (code O41.03X0) alongside the drainage of water (code 10E0XZZ).
  • This presents a contradictory indication between the condition and the procedure reported.

SPAI identifies and flags wasteful patterns, providing detailed claim information and explanations for each identified finding, allowing for targeted action.

Deliverables: SPAI provides claim-level and line-level flags, offering suggested DRG changes along with detailed explanations. Data Inputs: Claims data, plus optional claims history, Rx, labs, vitals.

MEDICAL NECESSITY

Clinical Pattern Recognition

Description: Identify patterns of clinical waste at the provider level related to Medical Necessity, pinpointing opportunities to eliminate unnecessary and unreasonable tests, equipment, services and procedures. This analysis helps reduce costs by focusing on areas where areas of opportunity exist to reduce unnecessary orders.

Deliverables: SPAI identifies and flags wasteful patterns, providing detailed claim information and explanations for each identified finding, allowing for targeted action.

Example: Claim number: XXXX
Claim Paid Amount: $35,823.91
Gynisus Recommendation: Medical Record Review

In the following claim, the patient presented to the clinic with right foot drop, other specified soft tissue disorders, and abnormal levels of other serum enzymes. Multiple overlapping tests were conducted to determine the source of the foot drop; however, the necessity of these numerous radiology tests is unclear and requires verification with the provider. Additionally, most of the reported tests do not align with certain documented findings.

Example: Claim number: XXXX
Claim Paid Amount: $30,798.47
Gynisus Recommendation: Medical Record Review
Rationale:

Specific Claim: In the following claim, the provider reported sepsis (unspecified), acute appendicitis, and a procedure of resection of the appendix via a percutaneous endoscopic approach. Lab tests were conducted, but there is no report identifying the specific organism, nor is there alignment with sepsis criteria. Additionally, oral antibiotics were administered, which may indicate an attempt to prevent sepsis, though sepsis was not confirmed. The severity of illness was reported as level 3. We recommend querying the provider for evidence supporting the sepsis diagnosis.

Zoom Out: The provider handling the above claim managed 19 cases of acute appendicitis with perforation and localized peritonitis (without abscess), performing resection of the appendix via a percutaneous endoscopic approach. In each case, unspecified sepsis was reported, and lab tests were conducted without identifying a specific organism, nor is there alignment with sepsis criteria. Oral antibiotics were administered, potentially as a preventative measure against sepsis; however, no specific evidence of sepsis was documented. Patients were hospitalized for a uniform duration of exactly 96 hours, and the Severity of Illness (SOI) was reported as level 3 across all cases.

Deliverables: AI-driven detection of FWA with actionable insights, evidence, and seamless integration for comprehensive SIU support. Detailed reports highlight questionable patterns, enabling efficient case resolution with minimal additional investigation. Data Inputs: Claims data + optional: Rx, labs, vitals, and MR.
