Revenue integrity · hospital revenue leakage

Find the money Indian hospitals write off as “policy terms”.

Denial management starts after the insurer has decided. Revenue integrity starts at admission — where room caps, pre-auth clocks and tariffs decide most of the shortfall — and ends with every settlement line explained.

A deduction you predicted is a decision you can still change.

The mechanisms

Nine places money leaves a hospital. Drapto watches all nine.

Admission

Room-rent cap breach

Proportionate deduction across surgery, OT, consumables and nursing — modelled before the room is allotted.

Explore →
Admission

Eligibility & sub-limits

Waiting periods, procedure sub-limits and exclusions checked at the desk.

Explore →
Stay

Notification clock

Cashless converts to reimbursement when the window is missed. Clocks run per payer.

Explore →
Stay

Enhancement

Flagged at 85% of the approved amount, before the ceiling.

Coding

Documentation deficiency

Codes in the notes that never reached the bill, raised in the ward.

Billing

Package unbundling

Packages billed with their components caught before submission.

Contract

Tariff drift

Billing above or below the agreed rate card, per payer contract.

Settlement

Unexplained shortfall

The part of a deduction no stated reason covers — your query list.

Explore →
Leadership

Work never billed

Procedures and consumables recorded and never charged, signed off monthly.

Prioritised by exposure

A 12% risk on ₹4 lakh outranks an 80% risk on ₹6,000.

Most worklists sort by probability, which buries the large uncertain claims. Drapto sorts by risk multiplied by amount, and groups claims that share one cause so one fix clears the batch.

What we are not claiming

Honest limits, stated up front.

NHCX

We do not transmit

We build and validate FHIR R4 bundles; transmission runs through your own NHA onboarding.

Outcomes

No recovery percentage

No customer has published one with us, so we do not quote one.

Coding

Not generative AI

The ICD-10 engine is deterministic: same input, same code, every time.

Learning

Months, not days

Rule calibration needs about 25 decided claims per rule.

Questions

Asked before every demo.

What is hospital revenue leakage?

Money a hospital earned and never collects: procedures done and never billed, deductions that were predictable at admission, tariffs billed above or below contract, and shortfalls nobody queried. Most of it is decided before the patient leaves.

How is this different from denial management?

Denial management works after the insurer has decided. Revenue integrity moves the work earlier — to admission, the stay and coding — so fewer claims reach denial at all, and the ones that do arrive sorted by what is still worth appealing.

How does Drapto handle room rent capping?

It reads the policy’s room entitlement at admission, models the proportionate deduction on every associated charge, offers the best zero-deduction room and records consent against a named user if the patient still upgrades.

Is the claim scoring AI?

It is 24 auditable rules weighted probabilistically, not a black box. Calibration needs roughly 25 decided claims per rule, so it improves over months on your own data.

Do you quote a recovery percentage?

No. There is no outcome data we would stand behind yet. We publish mechanisms, not promises.

We will split it into predictable, contractual and unexplained — live, on your own payer.
