Daman is the largest health insurer in the United Arab Emirates. Since 2012, Daman has made important investments in people and technology to advance its analytical capabilities. With this analytical firepower and a historic dataset of 150 million claims, Daman was able to build and deploy a real-time ML-based claims processing engine that automates a significant portion of the manual claims processing workload, which could not be automated with simple medical rules.
Amro Alkhatib explains how Daman repurposed existing NLP methods to search through tens of millions of historic claim decisions in real time, to find the most similar historical claims for a newly submitted claim. A new claim is then decided on via a transparent voting mechanism of decisions taken on similar historical claims. This approach allows machine learning algorithms to go into production in a highly regulated industry.
