Switch Underpayment Detection System
Opportunity Identification with Machine Learning
The Underpayment Detection System platform is capable of parsing, storing and analyzing every data element on an ANSI standard transaction at a rate of over 3000 physician claims (837P/I or 835) per second. Claim and remittance data is then analyzed against a set of business rules to quickly and automatically identify opportunities to recover at-risk revenue. The Underpayment Detection System also compiles data into customizable outputs sufficient for creating bulk appeals based on the data elements that your payors may request. In addition to finding underpayments, the Underpayment Detection System also tracks total recoveries and percentage of appeals successfully recovered.
Switch provides a risk-free analysis of payment data using the Underpayment Detection System to healthcare providers. We then present you with the opportunities that we believe exist for recovery and allow you decide what to pursue.
The Switch Underpayment Detection System may be the fastest way available to get from start of engagement to realizing hard ROI. This is the kind of revenue recovery opportunity that can provide a big boost to healthcare organizations dealing with the impact of COVID-19 with very little lift for your organization. All we need to get started are 837s and 835s (contracts and fee schedules help a lot, too). If we have a relationship with or can establish a relationship with your clearinghouse, we can get 837 and 835 data directly from them to fully remove IT lift for your organization.

Switch RPA (Robotic Process Automation)
RPA Suite
SRPA is a group of services that automate processes and workflows in your core billing system. The SRPA services currently include:
-
Secondary Balance Resolution
-
Switch calculates allowed amounts for both primary and secondary payors
-
We deliver back expected primary payment amounts and/or secondary allowed amounts in a way that the balances can be automatically resolved in your billing system on items for which you do not to expect additional money from the secondary payor
-
-
Enhanced Claim Status
-
There are variations in how payors provide status for claims that are in-process, pended for more information or investigation, and those awaiting a remittance adjudication cycle
-
We understand the processing and payment timelines, as well as the different code combinations that the individual payors use and we normalize and classify status transactions into our own proprietary status grouping to ensure that claims are appropriately classified no matter which payor is billed
-
We can also pass back claim status updates at both the claim and charge level, to automate claim acceptance, the routing of rejected claims to staff and prioritization and automation of work
-
-
Work Prioritization
-
We use proprietary algorithms to determine the collection opportunity, the true cost to collect, and likelihood to collect
-
We score and categorize charges, claims and/or accounts so that you can drive actions like routing work to specific staff members or automatically resolving balances you are unlikely to collect or a balance that would cost more to collect than the amount that could be collected
-
Switch Data Service
Data as any Service
At Switch we understand that the data needs of organizations vary greatly. Many organizations have internal reporting teams and a specific BI tool (Qlik Sense, Tableau, Microsoft BI, etc.) and just need help integrating external data from sources like payers and clearinghouses. Other organizations prefer to have their data available in an out of the box cloud-based analytics tools. And many organizations need data to be transformed and used for industry standard transactions like eligibility (270/271), claim status (276/277), institutional claims (837I), professional claims (837P) and electronic remittance advice (835). We offer data services to fit these services and many more, including highly customized applications and data transformations.
IntegrEDI
EDI Validation
Whether you are testing a new EDI system or a direct submitting EDI transactions to payers, we can provide the assurance that your files are valid. In addition to overall file validity checking, we check for missing required or situationally required data, and also check the validity of values within each data element of an EDI file. Our validation service works on all ASC X12 and all finalized/adopted versions.
While we are primarily focused on providing services to healthcare provider organizations, this product works on any ASC X12 transaction and therefore we offer it as a service to users of these standard transactions regardless of industry.
