  • Patent number: 11966983
    Abstract: Machine learning models can assess historical insurance claims data and prescription fulfillment records to reduce paybacks to prescription payers in the form of direct and indirect remuneration fees. A pharmacy computer receives prescription data and communicates at least a portion of the prescription data to a pharmacy benefit manager. The pharmacy computer receives a prescription benefit response back at the computerized application from the prescription payer software application. The pharmacy computer is configured to develop machine learning request data, selected from the prescription data and prescription benefit response data, and send the machine learning request data to machine learning software. The machine learning software calculates payback forecast data for the prescription data.

  • Patent number: 11861339
    Abstract: In order to automate some aspects of software development, an application catalogue is provided. The application catalog is associated with an application (e.g., a medical device) and includes a plurality of parameters that each define a desired state of the software application when the software application is deployed). These parameters may include service parameters, application parameters, environmental parameters, feature parameters, API parameters, and infrastructure parameters. Before a software application is deployed to an environment, the states of the parameters with respect to the environment are determined and compared to the states of the parameters of the application catalog. The system then automatically takes the necessary steps to correct the states of any parameters of the environment to match those of application catalog.

  • Patent number: 11748566
    Abstract: Embodiments are disclosed for automatically evaluating records. In the context of a method, an example embodiment includes receiving a set of text produced from a record, identifying, by block manipulation circuitry and from the set of text, one or more blocks of text that are related to a potential conclusion regarding the set of text, and extracting, by the block manipulation circuitry, the one or more blocks of text. The example method further includes concatenating, by the block manipulation circuitry, the extracted one or more blocks into a sequence of words, inputting the sequence of words into a machine learning model, and, in response to inputting the sequence of words into the machine learning model, producing, using the machine learning model, an indication of whether the potential conclusion regarding the record is supported by the sequence of words. Corresponding apparatuses and computer program products are also provided.

  • Patent number: 11645307
    Abstract: A method, apparatus and computer program product group records based upon a prediction of the content of the records. In the context of a method, data associated with respective subjects of the records is received and a threshold of a machine learning model is adjusted to satisfy an accuracy requirement for record categorization. In response to analyzing the data, but not the records, by the machine learning model, the method separates, using the machine learning model, the records into the first and second groups with the first group including records that the associated data indicates are more likely to support the addition of a code and the second group including records that the associated data indicates are less likely to support the addition of a code. The method also includes subsequently processing the records in different manners depending upon whether the records are included in the first or second group.

  • Patent number: 11544552
    Abstract: A method, apparatus and computer program product refine an automated coding model, such as for a medical chart. For each respective candidate code from a set of candidate codes, the method predicts a probability of the respective code being contained in a medical chart. The method also selects one of the candidate codes as being contained in the medical chart based upon the probability and removes the selected candidate code from the set of candidate codes. The method then repeatedly predicts the probability of a respective code being contained in the medical chart, selects one of the candidate codes based upon the predicted probability and removes the selected candidate code from the set of candidate codes. The method further determines a categorical crossentropy loss as to permit adjustment of one or more parameters of the automated coding model.

  • Patent number: 11436529
    Abstract: A method, apparatus and computer program product are provided for implementing an actor-critic model for processing a large document. The document is processed in smaller portions, and the information is accumulated or aggregated in a vector representation of the document. The vector representation may be reconfigured with each time step so that the vector representation includes an estimate of the most relevant information from the document processed thus far. The vector representation may be used to classify the document, such as by determining a primary and/or secondary diagnosis in a medical record. Feedback from the critic is provided in the form of a reward signal to the actor, which fine tunes its parameters and processes the different portions of the document. The actor-critic model may be trained with training data including documents and their known associated classifications.

  • Patent number: 11437137
    Abstract: A method, apparatus and computer program product are provided for generating a predefined sized vector representative of a healthcare claim including a variable number of service lines. A neural network is trained to identify hierarchical relationships between claim lines and services lines and to represent the relationships in the predefined sized vector. The predefined sized vector may be used to make predictions regarding adjudication, such as probability of denial (claim-level or service-level), days to pay, probability of being paid as a diagnosis related group (DRG), allowed amount, and/or denial reason. Predictions may also be made from the predefined sized vector relating to the likelihood and/or identification of missing procedure codes.
