Use Cases for Payer Innovation Teams

Real-world scenarios where our APIs drive compliance, engagement, and cost savings

Federal Mandate Compliance

Deploy CMS-required Patient Access and Payer-to-Payer FHIR APIs to meet regulatory deadlines

The Challenge

CMS mandates require dental payers to implement FHIR R4 APIs by specific deadlines. Building this infrastructure from scratch requires 12-18 months of engineering effort, specialized FHIR expertise, and ongoing compliance monitoring. Most payers face resource constraints and tight timelines.

The Solution

Our pre-built FHIR platform includes 26 resource types with US Core profile validation, SMART on FHIR authorization, and multi-tenant isolation. Deploy in weeks instead of months. Built-in audit logging and compliance reporting reduce ongoing maintenance burden.

Time to Compliance

Deploy production-ready FHIR APIs in 4-6 weeks instead of 12-18 months of custom development

Reduced Engineering Costs

Avoid hiring specialized FHIR developers and infrastructure engineers for a one-time mandate

Automatic Updates

Stay current with evolving CMS requirements through managed platform updates

Audit Trail

6-year audit logging built-in for HIPAA compliance and regulatory reporting

Member Engagement Apps

Embed instant oral health scoring into member portals to drive preventive care utilization

The Challenge

67% of members skip preventive dental visits until problems become painful and expensive. Member portals exist but lack interactive tools that create urgency around preventive care. Members need instant feedback to take action before small problems become major claims.

The Solution

Integrate our dental image analysis API into your member portal or mobile app. Members upload a dental photo and receive cavity risk, gum health, plaque level, and overall oral health scores in 3 seconds. High-risk members are automatically flagged for follow-up campaigns.

Real-Time Engagement

3-second response time enables in-app instant feedback that drives immediate member action

Preventive Care Shift

Members with high cavity risk scores schedule cleanings before problems require crowns or root canals

HEDIS Improvement

Track member oral health trends over time to improve HEDIS dental quality metrics

Claims Cost Reduction

Early detection prevents $2,000 crowns by catching issues at the $150 filling stage

Teledentistry Programs

Power virtual dental screening and triage workflows to reduce unnecessary ER visits

The Challenge

Members with dental emergencies often visit expensive ERs because they can't get immediate dental care. Teledentistry programs exist but lack diagnostic tools to assess urgency remotely. Dentists need objective data to prioritize high-risk cases.

The Solution

Members submit dental photos before virtual consultations. Our AI provides pre-visit risk assessment with cavity risk and gum health scores. Dentists use these scores to triage cases, prioritize urgent appointments, and provide clinical decision support during virtual visits.

Pre-Visit Triage

Dentists review AI scores before appointments to prepare appropriate treatment plans

ER Diversion

Members with low-risk scores receive virtual guidance instead of costly ER visits

Prioritization

High cavity risk scores automatically move members to urgent appointment slots

Remote Monitoring

Track member oral health changes over time between in-person visits

Preventive Care Campaigns

Target SMS outreach based on AI oral health risk scores to drive preventive visit rates

The Challenge

Generic "schedule your cleaning" campaigns have low response rates because members don't perceive urgency. Without personalized risk data, payers can't target high-risk members who would benefit most from immediate preventive care.

The Solution

Use dental AI scores to segment members by risk level. Send targeted SMS campaigns to high cavity risk members with urgent messaging. Track which campaigns drive appointments and measure ROI through claims data. Automated eligibility verification ensures messages only reach active members.

Risk-Based Targeting

Members with high AI scores receive urgent "cavity risk detected" messaging instead of generic reminders

Automated Workflows

Welcome, referral, utilization, and holiday campaigns run automatically with eligibility checks

Campaign ROI

Track preventive visit rates and claims costs per campaign to measure effectiveness

Member Retention

Personalized engagement increases member satisfaction and reduces churn

Payer-to-Payer Data Exchange

Seamlessly exchange member clinical and claims data when members switch insurance plans

The Challenge

When members change insurance plans, new payers have no visibility into past dental history. This leads to redundant treatments, delayed care, and member frustration. CMS-0057-F mandates require payers to exchange this data via FHIR.

The Solution

Our FHIR platform includes $member-match operation for patient matching and $everything operation for complete data bundles. Supports mutual TLS for secure payer-to-payer connections. Exchange Patient, Coverage, EOB, and clinical resources automatically when members switch plans.

Seamless Transitions

New payers receive complete member history including past treatments and claims

Better Care Decisions

Dentists access prior dental work to avoid redundant X-rays and unnecessary procedures

Member Satisfaction

Members don't have to manually request records or repeat medical history

Compliance

Meet CMS-0057-F payer-to-payer data exchange requirements automatically

Prior Authorization Automation

Streamline preauthorization workflows with FHIR-based submission and status tracking

The Challenge

Prior authorization for expensive dental procedures (crowns, implants, orthodontics) involves manual faxing, phone calls, and long wait times. Providers and members lose track of approval status. Delays in authorization lead to delayed care and member complaints.

The Solution

Providers submit preauthorization requests via our FHIR Claim API with use="preauthorization". $submit operation processes requests and returns ClaimResponse with approval/denial status. $inquire operation allows real-time status queries. All interactions tracked in audit logs.

Faster Decisions

Synchronous $submit responds within 5 seconds for straightforward approvals

Status Transparency

Providers and members check authorization status via API instead of calling

Reduced Denials

Structured FHIR format ensures all required clinical documentation is submitted upfront

Workflow Integration

Provider EHR systems integrate directly with API to eliminate manual data entry
