Spiraling costs, not only the cost of healthcare but in the administration of services, presents ongoing technical and clinical challenges. In various countries and regions, there are shortfalls in nurses, doctors and staff, sometimes severe, which impacts overall patient care when providers need to spend inordinate amounts of time on administrative duties.
Amelia for Healthcare can be deployed by health insurance providers to answer patients' benefits questions, detail procedure costs, and locate doctors and hospitals. She also processes member payments, issues claim information, and she can even notify patients of insurance authorization.
As health insurance provider staff spend time reviewing authorizations, claims, and dealing with billing challenges and questions, other tasks accumulate, which slows down the overall efficiency of the health insurance ecosystem.

Amelia can be trained to screen for common illnesses and conditions. She can be up-and-running in a few days and follow strict screening guidelines.

Her skills in this area can be applied to pre-screening for chronic conditions as well.
