Revenue Cycle Automation

Healthcare revenue cycle operations leak value at every step — through manual touchpoints, delayed follow-up, and process inconsistency. 6QD deploys intelligent automation that reduces cost-to-collect, accelerates cash flow, and frees your team to focus on work that actually requires human judgment.

Why Most RCM Automation Fails

Automation without process redesign produces faster versions of broken workflows.

Most health systems have tried to automate point solutions — a bot here, a script there — without addressing the underlying process design. The result is fragile automation that breaks with payer changes, staff turnover, or EHR upgrades.

6QD approaches automation differently. We redesign the process first, then automate it. We build governance structures that sustain performance. And we measure what matters — not bot count, but revenue impact.

Process redesign before automation deployment
Payer-specific logic built into every workflow
Exception handling designed for real-world volume
Governance frameworks that prevent bot decay
ROI measurement tied to revenue outcomes, not activity

What Sustainable Automation Looks Like

No-Touch Claim Rate

For high-volume, standardized claim types

80–90%

First-Pass Resolution

Clean claim rates with pre-submission edits

>90%

Denial Rate

With automated root-cause prevention upstream

<5%

Cost per Claim Processed

Reduction from automated FTE reallocation

40%↓

Capabilities

Automation across the full revenue cycle lifecycle.

Eligibility Verification Automation

Real-time eligibility checks at scheduling and registration. Eliminate surprise denials caused by coverage gaps identified too late to act on.

Prior Authorization Intake & Tracking

Automate auth submission, status monitoring, and follow-up across payers. Compress authorization timelines from days to hours.

Claims Status Monitoring at Scale

Continuous claims tracking across payers without manual log-ins. Surface aged or stalled claims before they become write-offs.

Denial Classification & Routing

Automatically classify denials by CARC/RARC, tier them by complexity, and route to the right work queue — eliminating manual triage.

Appeals Letter Generation

RPA-assisted appeal drafting using payer-specific templates. Standardize language, reduce turnaround time, and increase overturn rates.

Remittance Posting & Reconciliation

Auto-post ERAs, flag discrepancies, and reconcile payments against expected reimbursement — freeing cash posting staff for exception work.

Denial Trend Analytics

Root-cause analysis on denial patterns by payer, code, and source area. Surface the upstream process failures driving downstream volume.

End-to-End Claims Lifecycle Monitoring

Full-cycle visibility from submission to payment. Identify bottlenecks, measure resolution times, and track performance against benchmarks.
