Adjudication Intelligence

Ebix has run claims administration for more than 30 years on the LuminX engine. Adjudication Intelligence puts that history to work: models trained on decades of adjudication outcomes raise auto-adjudication rates, route exceptions with context, and draft correspondence from the claim record, with a person reviewing every release.

Trained on the work itself

Claims adjudication produces its own training data: the claim as it arrived, the plan rules applied, the examiner’s decision, the appeal, and the payment outcome. Ebix has been recording that loop for over three decades. Models built on it learn from what adjudicators actually decided, not from generic text, and every subsequent settlement cycle verifies their predictions against what really happened.

The intelligence layer attaches to a claims engine already running in production, with 400+ built-in reports and full claim lifecycle management, so no core migration stands between you and the results.

Where the models sit in the claim path

The models score claims between the rules engine and settlement. Rules keep deciding; the models decide where people are needed.

Step 1

Claims intake

EDI, paper, portal

Step 2

Rules engine

Plan rules, eligibility, accumulators

Step 3

Decision models

Scored against adjudication history

Step 4

Settlement or routing

Auto-settle, or route with context

Step 5

Human review

Examiners decide, release, and teach the models

Three capabilities

Predictive auto-adjudication

Decision models trained on historical outcomes identify which claims can settle without touch. The rules engine remains the authority; the models expand what it can safely clear. The result is a higher auto-adjudication rate and a smaller manual queue.

  • Rules engine stays the system of record
  • Models score each claim before the settlement cycle
  • Automation expands within the plan rules, never around them

Intelligent exception routing

Claims likely to pend are flagged before they pend, with the probable reason and the relevant history attached, and routed to the examiner best suited to resolve them. Examiner time concentrates on claims that need judgment.

  • Pend reason predicted and attached to the claim
  • Routing by examiner specialty and workload
  • Member and provider history in view on arrival

Grounded drafting

Determination letters, appeal responses, and member explanations drafted from the plan document and the claim record, with citations. A person reviews and releases every item before it leaves the system.

  • Every draft cites the plan provision it relies on
  • Human review and release on every letter
  • Full log of drafts, edits, and approvals

Governed like a claims system

Adjudication is regulated work. The intelligence layer is built to the same standard as the engine it serves.

Rules decide, models assist

Plan rules adjudicate claims. Models expand automation within those rules and prioritize human attention outside them.

Human review on every release

No determination, letter, or payment change leaves the system without a person reviewing and releasing it.

Full audit trail

Every model-assisted action records the model version, the inputs considered, and the reviewer who released it.

Data governance

Client data stays under client contract. Cross-client learning uses de-identified adjudication patterns only.

How an engagement runs

Three phases, each with its own deliverable. The first phase is data work on your own history, so value lands before any model goes live.

Discuss your claims environment
1

Data foundation

Extract and structure your adjudication history from the core system. Scoped, concrete work that stands on its own.

2

Predictive models

Train and validate auto-adjudication and routing models on your own history, measured against your current baseline.

3

The assistant layer

Grounded drafting and conversational access for examiners and service teams, with role-based permissions and audit logging.
