Client Overview
The client is a national healthcare payor responsible for managing insurance verification and prior authorization requests across millions of members. Traditional processes required staff to navigate multiple internal systems, make phone calls, and fax documents.
Key Takeaways
- Agentforce AI Agent connected to payor systems with real-time API calls.
- LLM-driven prompts predicted prior-auth needs from codes and plan rules.
- Verification timelines improved from hours to seconds, easing administrative burden.
- Prior-auth turnaround was 50% faster enabling quicker treatment initiation.
- Automated outcomes surfaced directly in Salesforce Health Cloud for care teams to act instantly
One of the biggest challenges the client faced was verifying member eligibility and processing prior authorizations fast enough to support timely care. Manual checks meant phone calls, faxes, and switching between multiple systems delaying treatments, frustrating patients, and increasing administrative overhead. Disconnected workflows and limited automation made it hard to meet SLAs and left care teams bogged down. To solve this, the client partnered with Accelirate to deploy an Agentforce AI Agent that connected directly with payor systems, predicted prior-auth requirements, and delivered real-time outcomes into Salesforce Health Cloud.
