How IDR Agent Works
A step-by-step look at how our AI agent processes and optimizes your revenue cycle.
Claim Identification
The IDR Agent continuously monitors your claims data to identify out-of-network claims that received inadequate reimbursement. Using machine learning, it flags claims where the payment falls significantly below expected rates based on service type, geography, and payer history.
Eligibility Assessment
Each flagged claim undergoes rigorous eligibility screening against No Surprises Act requirements. The AI verifies service dates, patient consent status, emergency vs. non-emergency classification, and ensures all federal criteria are met before proceeding.
Open Negotiation
Before initiating IDR, the agent automatically sends a structured open negotiation request to the payer with supporting documentation. This 30-day period often results in favorable settlements without formal arbitration.
Case Preparation
For cases proceeding to IDR, the agent compiles comprehensive submission packages including: comparable rate analysis, supporting clinical documentation, QPA calculations, and written arguments tailored to each case's unique circumstances.
Federal Submission
Cases are submitted through the federal IDR portal with all required documentation. The agent manages batching strategies to optimize administrative fees and maximize case efficiency.
Outcome Tracking & Appeals
The agent monitors case status, processes arbitrator decisions, and automatically initiates appeals for unfavorable outcomes when grounds exist. All results feed back into the learning model for continuous improvement.

Case Study
Real results from urgent care centers using IDR Agent.
12-Site Network Recovers $10.6M — 74% of Annual Revenue
The Challenge
A 12-site urgent care network was hemorrhaging revenue from underpaid out-of-network claims. With 45% of their patient volume coming from out-of-network payers, they were consistently receiving payments at 40-55% of their billed charges. Their billing team had attempted manual IDR submissions but achieved only a 35% win rate with limited bandwidth to pursue all eligible cases.
The Solution
The IDR Agent was deployed across all 12 locations with full EHR integration in under 6 weeks. Within the first month, the AI identified 1,247 claims eligible for IDR review, representing $14.2M in potential recovery. The agent's sophisticated case-building and QPA analysis engine dramatically improved win rates while processing 10x the volume their team could handle manually.
"The IDR Agent recovered $10.6 million in our first year—that's 74% of our total annual revenue. We went from a 35% win rate doing it manually to over 90% with AI. This platform transformed our entire operation."
