How AI Reduces Healthcare Claims Errors

‍

Medical billing errors are more than just a nuisance — they’re a multi-billion-dollar issue dragging down healthcare providers and revenue cycle teams. From inaccurate coding to claims lost in fragmented systems, errors delay payments, inflate admin costs, and erode patient trust.

Enter the AI-first revolution.

At ENTER, we believe the future of healthcare operations lies in smarter automation, not more manual work. With our AI-first Revenue Cycle Management (RCM) platform, we’ve helped providers like Tellica Imaging achieve a staggering 0.49% denial rate, transforming billing chaos into operational clarity.

This article explores how AI is revolutionizing claims accuracy and what it means for modern healthcare systems.

The True Cost of Medical Claims Errors in Healthcare

What Causes Most Errors

Medical billing mistakes often stem from outdated processes, siloed systems, and sheer human error. Here’s what typically goes wrong:

• Manual data entry  still shockingly common in 2025
  
  
• Incorrect or outdated CPT/ICD codes
  
  
• Eligibility verification failures
  
  
• Insufficient documentation or misaligned payer rules
  
  

Each of these issues contributes to the $17 billion+ wasted annually due to billing inefficiencies in the U.S. alone, according to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services.

Measurable Financial and Operational Impacts

• 11–30% average denial rates across providers
  
  
• 42% of denials stem from coding issues
  
  
• 60% of denied claims are never resubmitted
  
  
• Result? Lost revenue, delayed reimbursements, and frustrated patients
  
  

A recent American Medical Association (AMA) study found that physicians spend over 16 hours per week on claim appeals and prior authorizations — time that could otherwise be spent on patient care.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does AI help prevent medical billing errors?

AI automates repetitive billing tasks and applies intelligent rules to flag issues before they become claim denials. ENTER’s AI, for example, uses real-time eligibility checks, claim scrubbers, and historical denial data to produce more accurate submissions.

Can AI fully replace human coders?

Not entirely. While AI like ENTER’s Coder can handle a huge portion of billing workflows, human oversight remains essential — especially for edge cases, clinical judgment, and strategic reviews.

How is AI different from automation in billing?

Basic automation repeats pre-set tasks. AI evolves. It learns from patterns, adapts to payer behavior, and applies logic to handle variability — making it far more dynamic than traditional RPA tools.
