Abstract
Techniques for automation of medical claim processing are disclosed. In one embodiment, the techniques may be realized as a system for automatically processing emergency medical claims, comprising: one or more processors and a memory. The memory may contain instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to: receive an emergency medical claim; determine a status code corresponding to a current status of the claim and a reason code corresponding to a reason for the current status of the claim; and identify, based on the status code and the reason code, a task that needs to be completed on the claim and an administrator associated with and/or responsible for handling the task.
