CITADEL
Payer Tariff Alignment Engine
Automate contract-to-claim validation. Eliminate settlement friction. Protect underwriting margins without core-system integration or database dependency.
The Business Challenge
For insurance carriers and third-party administrators (TPAs), managing large volumes of institutional healthcare claims requires precise alignment between contract-defined pricing structures and actual billing submissions. Each provider network operates on highly customized pricing agreements—including procedure-linked tariffs, surgical package rates, and corporate exclusion frameworks—making consistent claim validation inherently complex.
This complexity intensifies as claims incorporate time-based codes, multi-tier fee schedules, and dynamic eligibility rules that vary across providers and contract versions.
As a result, even minor discrepancies—such as tariff mismatches, duplicated line items, or misapplied exclusions—lead to claim inconsistencies, extended processing cycles, and avoidable margin leakage. These errors accumulate silently, increasing administrative overhead and directly eroding underwriting performance.
The CITADEL Solution & Core Capabilities
CITADEL deploys on your secure private infrastructure as a non-intrusive contract-to-claim alignment engine.
Operating via high-frequency local file streams, the engine runs continuously to intercept and validate claims in real time. Because it processes files passively from a secure local directory, the platform requires no API development, database modifications, or core system integration.
Commercial Contract Protocol Digitization
Parses and structures unstructured, multi-page provider agreements and policy terms—converting complex tariff schedules and exclusions into a centralized, active rule graph.
Continuous Stream Cross-Referencing
Evaluates billing entries in real time with sub-second latency, matching transaction logs against contract rules before clearance.
Instant Variance Interception
Flags formatting anomalies, structural variances, and unbundled line items in real time—delivering a precise validation report to billing and audit teams.
Why CITADEL Outperforms Legacy Alternatives
Zero Core-System Integration
Bypasses slow middleware integrations entirely. The engine passively reads transaction logs from local directories—leaving your core claims systems untouched.
Absolute Local Data Sovereignty
Runs 100% on-premise behind your secure firewall. Pricing terms, exclusions, and patient data never leave your infrastructure.
Deterministic, Sub-Second Validation
Validates claims with sub-second latency, enabling seamless integration with automated, high-throughput clearing workflows.
Engineered for Strict Institutional Excellence
Scale Auditing Capacity
Eliminate the manual burden of reviewing thousands of invoice line items across fragmented claim datasets.
Discrepancy Clarity
Access clear, structured alignment views showing exactly where claims deviate from contracted terms.
Zero Interface Disruption
Continue using existing administrative systems without change. CITADEL operates silently in the background.
