Claim management is an important process for a healthcare facility. The Following dialogue exchanges show the difference in patient satisfaction with manual and claim management automation processes.

Manual Claim Management Process

Healthcare Facility (HF): Good day! How may I assist you with your claim today?

Patient(P): Well, I submitted my claim a few weeks ago, and I haven't received any updates or payment. I'm concerned about the delay.

HF: I apologize for the inconvenience, sir. Let me check on the status of your claim for you. Can you please provide me with your claim number?

P: Sure, it's 123456789.

HF: Thank you, sir. Please hold for a moment while I look up your claim.

(Calls the insurance company, and asks them to check for the claim)

P: What’s Happening?

HF: I’ve Connected With The Insurance company, they’ll check and tell me the status of the process.

P: Okay.

(Waits For some more time.)

HF: It’s in the review process, sir. It may take a few more days. 

P: Can You Confirm a date when it’ll be over?

HF: Sorry sir, I can’t confirm it. But I’m sure it should be over soon cause it’s in the review process. Is there anything else I can help you with?

P: No thanks. (In a grumpy voice)

From the exchange, we can clearly understand that the customer is not happy with the answer he received. This is the case in several patients in healthcare facilities. 

Let’s Look at the exchange between healthcare facility that has implemented claims management automation systems with Droidlal.
