* i3systems buils intelligent automation solution to approve COVID-19 claims in 30 mins

* Insurtech start-up i3systems on Thursday said it has built intelligent automation solution 'CliniAId' to approve COVID-19 discharge claims under 30 minutes.

CliniAId enables insurers and TPAs (third-party administrators) to manage end-to-end COVID-19 claims processes by automating financial and medical adjudication using artificial intelligence, the company said in a statement. Insurance sector regulator Irdai recently asked insurers and TPAs to process COVID-19 cashless claims within 60 minutes.

i3systems said that due to the complexity of COVID-19 treatment, insurers need additional 60 minutes of average handling time (AHT) to process COVID-19 related claims. Hence, to reduce the overhead of claims adjudicators and comply with the new policy, CliniAId will play a critical role enabling adjudicators to approve discharge claims in under 30 minutes. HRS hrs
