Health Claims Accelerator automates the claim lifecycle, from document intake and classification to data extraction. It is currently available in the ABBYY Innovation Hub.
Built on ABBYY Document AI and equipped with pre-configured skills for forms like CMS-1500, UB-04, and ADA, the solution leverages large language models (LLMs) to generate clean, structured outputs ready for adjudication. It enables high-volume healthcare payers to move beyond legacy OCR, lower processing costs, and adopt secure, scalable automation.
According to a press release, organizations using the Health Claims Accelerator can realize substantial operational improvements, processing more than 35 million pages per year, automating over 50 document types, and reducing manual touchpoints by 60 percent or more.
ABBYY reports that these efficiencies lead to faster claims processing, fewer errors, and better member experiences, delivering over US$1.6 million in annual savings for one healthcare payer.
“The MVP community is foundational to ABBYY’s innovation engine,” said Alicja Wolanczyk, head of partner strategy and alliances at ABBYY. “Every time an MVP uses ABBYY Document AI to solve a real business challenge, our customers benefit. Their innovations reduce complexity, accelerate automation, and help organizations achieve meaningful results. That’s the power of the MVP program – it turns expertise into customer impact.”

Winning the ABBYY MVP Hackathon
Winning the ABBYY MVP Hackathon validates Naviant’s commitment to reshaping how the healthcare industry manages and automates the processing of claims, said Mark Miller, SVP of enterprise solutions at Naviant.
“By combining Naviant’s deep industry expertise with ABBYY’s purpose-built AI, the Health Claims Accelerator dramatically reduces manual touchpoints and prepares data for adjudication with exceptional accuracy. This is the kind of innovation that empowers payers and third-party administrators to scale without adding staff while improving member experiences across the board.”
Although the winning use case was built for healthcare claims, the solution can be used for many types of documents, including enrolment forms, correspondence, remittance advice, credentialing materials, invoices, disbursements, and risk-adjustment documents, enabled by ABBYY’s pre-trained models and high-accuracy extraction.
