Claims & adjudication

Claims adjudication built to protect your loss ratio.

Rules-first automation reads every claim against your benefit rules, clears the clean ones straight through, and routes only the exceptions to human reviewers. Decisions happen at the point of the claim, not in a report after the money has left.

What it does

Straight-through where it's earned, human review where it's needed.

Rules-first automation

Benefit limits, exclusions, tariffs, and eligibility are evaluated automatically on every claim, in a consistent order, every time — no reliance on the memory of an individual assessor.

Straight-through processing

Clean claims that satisfy every rule are cleared without a human touch, so your reviewers spend their time only on the claims that actually need judgement.

Exception routing with a human in the loop

Adjudication runs behind a hard accuracy gate. The platform will not deny a claim automatically beyond a strict false-denial threshold — exceptions go to people, with the full context attached.

Nigerian by construction

NHIA-aware tariff structures, an NDPA 2023 aligned data posture, and monetary values processed as integer kobo end to end — no floating-point money, no rounding drift.

How it works

From intake to decision.

STEP 01

Intake and normalise

Claims arrive and are normalised against your member and benefit model, so every downstream check reads the same clean, structured record.

STEP 02

Evaluate and screen

Benefit rules run first, alongside a fraud, waste and abuse screen. Each state change is written to an append-only event log before it takes effect.

STEP 03

Route the outcome

Clean claims clear straight through. Exceptions and flagged patterns route to human reviewers and investigations, with the decision trail intact.

Why it matters

The loss ratio is decided one claim at a time.

The loss ratio — the share of premium paid back out in claims — is not moved by a quarterly report. It is moved by thousands of individual decisions, each made while the claim is still in front of you. Manual vetting puts clean claims in the same queue as the ones that need scrutiny, and cost follows delay.

Automated adjudication changes the economics of that queue. Valid spend clears quickly, so providers are paid and members are served. Questionable spend is held back and examined before money leaves. Your reviewers stop spending their day rubber-stamping the obvious and start spending it on the claims where their judgement is worth the most.

Decide at the point of the claim, not in a report after the money has left.
Questions

Claims adjudication, answered.

What is automated claims adjudication?
Automated claims adjudication is the process of evaluating a health insurance claim against benefit rules and policy limits without manual review. On Ajé, clean claims that satisfy every rule are cleared straight through, while claims that raise an exception are routed to a human reviewer.
Does the platform ever deny a claim automatically?
Automated adjudication operates behind a hard accuracy gate. The platform will not deny a claim automatically beyond a strict false-denial threshold. Exceptions, and anything near the threshold, are sent to people.
Is Ajé built for the Nigerian HMO market?
Yes. Ajé is built exclusively for Nigerian health insurance, with NHIA-aware tariff structures, an NDPA 2023 aligned data posture, and monetary values processed as integer kobo end to end.
How does adjudication protect the loss ratio?
By deciding at the point of the claim rather than in a retrospective report, adjudication clears valid spend quickly and holds back questionable spend before money leaves — the two levers that move the share of premium paid back out in claims.
