About National Health Insurance
National Health Insurance (NHI) is one of the largest health insurance providers in the United States, serving over 5 million members across 35 states. With a diverse portfolio of health plans including individual, group, Medicare Advantage, and Medicaid managed care, NHI processes thousands of policy documents and claims daily.
The Challenge
NHI's compliance team was struggling to keep pace with the volume of policy documents requiring review. With over 10,000 policy documents processed annually and frequent regulatory updates across different states, their manual review process was taking 4-6 weeks per document set. This created significant operational bottlenecks and increased the risk of non-compliance.
Key Challenges:
- Processing over 10,000 policy documents annually across 35 states
- Manual compliance reviews taking 4-6 weeks per document set
- Inconsistent interpretation of HIPAA requirements among reviewers
- High risk of human error in complex policy language review
- Difficulty keeping pace with changing regulations across multiple states
The Solution
NHI implemented PolicyGuard.AI to automate and enhance their compliance review process. The platform was configured to analyze policy documents against HIPAA, CMS, and state-specific regulations, with custom rule sets for NHI's specific requirements.
Document Ingestion Layer
PolicyGuard.AI processed NHI's extensive library of PDF and Word documents, using OCR to extract text from scanned documents and advanced entity extraction to identify key policy elements.
Vector Store + RAG
The platform stored documents in a vector database, enabling semantic search and retrieval of relevant policy sections when needed for compliance verification.
LLM Layer
Using specialized prompt chains fine-tuned on insurance and HIPAA corpus, PolicyGuard.AI analyzed policy language for compliance issues, ambiguities, and gaps.
Compliance Rule Engine
NHI configured custom rule sets for their specific requirements, including state-specific regulations and internal guidelines.
