Predictika · Revenue cycle platform quotes

An AI sales agent's revenue cycle platform quote, checked before it goes out

An AI sales agent prepares a revenue cycle platform subscription quote for a hospital, health system or physician group, with the modules, the EHR or practice management system, the claim volume, the go-live date, the term, the discount and the module count the quote states. Before it goes out, the agent sends it to Predictika, which checks it against a declarative model of the quoting rules and returns a verdict and every reason.

Scope: Waystar platform subscription quotes: 17 modules across Financial Clearance, Claim and Payer Payment Management, Denial Recovery, Clinical Integrity, Analytics and AltitudeAI, with customer type, facilities, claim volume, go-live timing, term, discount and the stated module count. See everything this validator covers

This validator models revenue cycle subscription quotes, not just the scenarios shown below.

  • Modules and dependencies — which modules need which others on the same quote, and which modules are offered only to hospitals and health systems.
  • Customer and timing — customer type, facility count and claim volume, and a go-live date that leaves enough weeks for the modules chosen.
  • Term, discount and statements — the subscription term, the discount against its limit and approval threshold, and the module count the quote states against the modules it lists.

Any platform quote that touches these rules is in scope — not only the scenarios pictured here. Not covered: prices, usage fees, taxes and other Waystar products. The module and solution-area names follow the public Waystar solutions pages; the dependencies between modules, the customer-type limits, the implementation timing and the discount thresholds are modeled from comparable revenue cycle software and are not published by Waystar. No prices are modeled.

Where rules-based CPQ gets it wrong

Click to expand

Our assessment of what a typical rules-based CPQ (product rules, price rules and validation rules, as in Salesforce CPQ) does with the same cases. It is a judgment about effort and reliability, not a claim that nothing can be built.

What the validator caughtTypical rules-based CPQPredictika
Modules that need other modulesOnly with care
Estimation, Authorization, Attachments, Denial, Recoupment and AltitudeAI each depend on a different module, so a rule must test every pair against the same quote.
Every dependency is checked on every call, whatever order the modules were chosen in.
Modules limited to some customer typesOnly with care
Clinical Documentation Integrity, DRG Anomaly Detection and Medicare Management are offered only to hospitals and health systems, so a rule must read two fields chosen independently.
The module list and the customer type are compared on every call.
Facility count and claim volume by customer typeOnly with workarounds
A hospital, a health system and a physician group each have a different facility or volume range, so each needs its own rule.
Each limit is a separate finding, and all of them are returned together.
A go-live date that depends on the module countOnly with workarounds
The minimum number of weeks grows with every module added, so a separate rule must recompute it and compare it with the date on the quote.
The minimum is computed from the modules on the quote and compared with the go-live weeks on every call.
A stated module count and a discount with two thresholdsOnly with workarounds
The stated count must equal the modules listed, and the discount has an approval threshold and a hard limit, so the checks sit on top of the blocking rules.
The stated count is a field of the request and is compared with the computed count; the discount tiers are separate findings.

What this validator catches: findings from its test cases

Every rule is checked on every call, in any order the choices arrive; one problem never hides another. Blocking findings stop the quote; approval findings need a person to sign off; everything else is computed.

The text of the narrated walkthrough, step by step.

  1. Welcome to a demo of Predictika's Validator. An AI sales agent prepares a revenue cycle platform subscription quote for a hospital, health system or physician group, with the modules. Before it goes out, the agent sends it to Predictika, which checks it against a declarative model of the quoting rules and returns a verdict and every reason.
  2. I will start with the first request by the agent.
  3. The agent says. Please quote a Waystar platform subscription for a hospital with 5 facilities on Epic, with Patient Estimation, Price Transparency, Authorization. The quote lists 7 modules, a 3-year term, go-live in 20 weeks and a discount of 30 percent. The rest of the request is on screen.
  4. Before it goes out, the agent calls the validator.
  5. Blocked, with nine findings, all in one answer. Patient Estimation needs Eligibility Verification on the quote. Authorization needs Eligibility Verification on the quote. Claim Attachments needs Claim Manager on the quote. The other six are on screen.
  6. The validator returned nine blocking findings in one answer. A check that reads one field at a time would pass most of this; it shows only when the choices in the quote are checked against each other.
  7. What this shows: for a stated module count and a discount with two thresholds, a rules-based CPQ can do this only with workarounds.
  8. Now the agent resubmits.
  9. The corrected request. It changes the customer type to Health System, the Eligibility Verification to yes, the Claim Manager to yes, the Clinical Documentation Integrity to yes and the module count stated on the quote to 11. Two more changes are on screen.
  10. It calls the validator again.
  11. This time the validator clears it.
  12. All nine earlier findings are cleared.
  13. Nine problems caught in one call, fixed in one pass, and a clean quote. That is the value of Predictika's validator: catching mistakes before they reach the customer. Now you can try the other scenarios yourself.
