AI Voice Agent for Benefits Verification: Automating the Eligibility Call
Blog post from Deepgram
An AI voice agent for benefits verification automates the traditionally costly and time-consuming process of manual eligibility calls, which can cost up to $14.32 each and last over 24 minutes. This technology operates in two modes: an electronic check via API for straightforward cases and an outbound payer call for more complex scenarios where electronic responses are incomplete, particularly in dental plans. The AI voice agent uses advanced speech-to-text (STT) and text-to-speech (TTS) technologies to handle noisy real-world audio and extract structured benefit data, which is then written back to electronic health records (EHRs) under stringent HIPAA compliance protocols. By integrating with EHR systems, the agent ensures that verified benefits data is available in time for patient appointments, improving the efficiency and accuracy of revenue cycle operations. Deepgram provides the infrastructure for this voice AI, supporting both cloud and self-hosted deployment options, and offering features like real-time transcription and structured data extraction while maintaining compliance with privacy regulations.
