Problem

Maximus runs the federal independent dispute resolution process under the No Surprises Act for CMS, which brings a high volume of cases that each need an eligibility check.

Approach

Maximus combined artificial intelligence, robotic process automation and an eligibility rules engine. The solution includes Maximus Intelligent Document Processing, which extracts and combines data from structured and unstructured sources. The eligibility rules engine is a coded set of rules.

Results

Takeaway

The system pairs document extraction with fixed eligibility rules, so only the document step uses AI.
