The Realities of Reverification and the Future of Intelligent Automation

AI is everywhere in healthcare conversations, but when it comes to reverification, the reality is more complex. Each January, practices are hit with a surge of eligibility and benefits checks, straining staff and creating bottlenecks that risk revenue and patient experience. Traditional fixes like staff augmentation and manual workflows keep the lights on, but they don’t solve the underlying scalability problem. In this Office Hours, Jonathan Aguiar, Senior Solutions Engineer, and Lora Pada, AVP of Customer Success, will break down the real-world challenges of reverification, explore how staff augmentation and partial automation fill today’s gaps, and discuss how intelligent automation and AI agents are being developed to change what’s possible tomorrow.

Beyond the Hype: How Ambient AI is Transforming Clinical Care with Dr. Tom Kelly of Heidi Health

Join Megan Antonelli and Dr. Tom Kelly, co-founder of Heidi Health, as he brings a unique perspective to healthcare AI. He's a vascular surgery trainee turned founder who experienced firsthand the crushing administrative burden that keeps clinicians from truly connecting with their patients. With Heidi Health now serving over 500,000 clinicians and processing more than 2 million patient visits per week, Tom shares the fascinating journey from frustrated doctor to AI innovator. We dive deep into the reality versus the hype of ambient AI adoption, why clinician-first design trumps seamless integration, and the critical difference between tools that doctors tolerate and tools they actually love. From the nuances of personalization at the sentence level to envisioning an AI care partner that handles follow-ups and coordinates care, this conversation reveals what it truly takes to build healthcare technology that makes medicine more human—not less.

Digital Health Talks: Beyond the Hype On How Ambient AI is Transforming Clinical Care

On this episode of Voices of Self-Funding, host Ramesh Kumar welcomes Arun Santhebennur, Co-founder and CEO of Voicegain, to explore how voice AI is reshaping healthcare operations for TPAs, payers, and health plans. They tackle the tough truth that 95% of AI pilots fail, unpacking why — from hype and skill gaps to the “build vs. buy” dilemma and change management challenges. More importantly, they share where AI is already succeeding: automating claims status calls, streamlining utilization management, and making complex health plan information accessible to members. Listeners will hear a roadmap for launching successful AI pilots — starting with proven use cases, aligning incentives, and using AI to augment (not replace) people. It’s a forward-looking conversation on turning AI from a risky experiment into a real value driver. This episode was sponsored by WLT Software. For more information, visit HCAA.org.
