Workflow Lifecycle

  1. Stage 1

    Rule-Based Processing

    Intake

    Claims enter via state data adapter. Domain classification: pharmacy, transportation, provider, institutional, behavioral health. Classification only. Final disposition requires analyst review.

  2. Stage 2

    Rule-Based Processing

    Risk Prioritization

    Rule library evaluates configurable thresholds. Operational risk classification 0–100. No automated disposition at this stage. Classification only. Final disposition requires analyst review.

  3. Stage 3

    Human Review Required

    Analyst Review Queue

    Claims above state threshold enter analyst queue. Human review required before prepayment escalation.

  4. Stage 4

    Analyst Decision

    Disposition

    Analyst disposition: Return to Adjudication, Documentation Review, Supervisor Escalation, or Program Integrity Review Package Preparation.

  5. Stage 5

    Supervisor Signoff Required

    Supervisor Review

    Escalated items require supervisor signoff. Overrides require documented justification.

  6. Stage 6

    System Logged

    Audit Log

    All analyst and supervisor actions logged: timestamp, user ID, disposition, justification. Append-only export.
