Problem the AI is intended to solve

The current Independent Dispute Resolution (IDR) Technical Assistance (TA) process is very manual and time intensive which limits throughput. The rules engine should significantly expedite processing and expand capacity. Automating more of the process may also increase consistency across recommendations and result in a more predictable timeframe for the workflow by better positioning disputes for analyst review.

Expected benefits

The AI tool will help automate the eligibility review process, reducing time-intensive manual steps and increasing consistency of results.
