AI Agents-Utilization Management Agents

Slash Prior Auth Turnaround
Automate Intake. Cut UM Staffing 40–60%.

AI-driven intake-to-determination workflow that meets every CMS and state SLA while dramatically reducing operational cost.

What Are UM AI Agents?

UM AI Agents automate the complete prior authorization lifecycle from any-channel intake through clinical evidence assembly, guideline application, and final determination. They replace the manual, multi-system process that currently consumes 40 minutes per intake case and hours of clinical reviewer time with an intelligent, end-to-end workflow that meets every CMS and state SLA.
CareInsight’s UM Agents operate as a connected four-stage workflow Intake, Notify, Evaluate, and Determine — with human-in-the-loop design ensuring clinicians make every final decision while AI eliminates all administrative and data-gathering burden.

Our UM AI Agents

Intake Agent

UM / Prior Authorization

Purpose

Receives prior authorization requests from any channel — call, fax, portal, mail. Auto-classifies request type, checks for expedited status, verifies member eligibility, validates provider credentials, and creates a fully documented case in under 2 minutes. Sends acknowledgement and requests missing clinical documentation via omni-channel outreach. Replaces a 40-minute manual process with 95% automation.

Key Benefit

Every prior auth case is intake-stamped, eligibility-verified, and credential-checked in under 2 minutes — from any channel, with zero manual data entry. Fully compliant with MA and Medicaid audit requirements from the first touch.

⚡ 95% Intake Automation — 40 min → 2 min

Omni-Channel Notification Agent

UM / Administrative

Purpose

Automates all mandated communications throughout the UM lifecycle — receipt acknowledgement, missing document requests, and determination notifications. Delivers via mail (multi-language), SMS, email, and conversational AI calls to both members and providers. Ensures every notification is compliant, timestamped, and audit-ready for CMS and state regulatory review.

Key Benefit

Eliminates manual calling and letter generation across every UM notification touchpoint. Saves 75% of administrative notification time while guaranteeing zero missed acknowledgement deadlines — for both MA and Medicaid mandates.

UM Evidence Retrieval & Recommendation Agent

UM / Prior Authorization Clinical Review

Purpose

Automatically aggregates clinical evidence from claims platforms (QNXT, TriZetto, Facets), authorization history, member records, provider credentialing, fee schedules, clinical guidelines (InterQual/MCG), LCD/NCD criteria, NCCI edits, and FWA analytics. Generates an evidence-based recommendation with confidence scoring. Supports custom GoldCarding rules by payer. Routes auto-approval directly to resolution if configured, or to MD for final decision with full evidence package already assembled.

Key Benefit

Reduces clinical review workload by 70% — eliminating the manual, multi-system evidence gathering that consumes hours of reviewer time per case. Human-in-the-loop design: AI recommends with confidence scoring, clinicians decide. All denial recommendations include complete evidence summary before MD sign-off.
