Bacancy covers the full claims management development lifecycle, from claim creation through adjudication and payment integrity. Our services are built for HIPAA-covered environments, EDI X12 transactions, and the integration patterns every claims platform depends on. Pick the build below that matches what your organization needs today.
We build complete claims platforms from the ground up. Claim creation, scrubbing, submission, tracking, adjudication, denial management, and payment posting all in one connected system. Typical engagement: 8 to 14 months, $400K to $1.5M depending on whether the platform serves a provider, payer, or hybrid use case.
We build adjudication engines for payers, TPAs, and self-administered plans. Includes payer rule engines, benefit determination logic, contract pricing, coordination of benefits, and the audit trail required for downstream auditing. Designed to handle high-volume real-time and batch adjudication.
We build denial management workflows that categorize root causes, prioritize appeals by recovery likelihood, draft appeal letters automatically, and track outcomes through resolution. Average client outcome: 25 to 40 percent improvement in appeal recovery rates within 12 months of go-live.
We build pre-pay and post-pay payment integrity solutions for payers and TPAs. Includes machine learning fraud detection, duplicate claim identification, COB validation, medical necessity review, and recovery workflows. The unique angle: applying modern AI to a category that most legacy vendors automate with rules engines from 2010.
We build EDI processing platforms that handle the full X12 transaction set for healthcare. Includes 837P/I/D claim formats, 835 remittance, 270/271 eligibility, 276/277 status, and 278 prior authorization. HIPAA-compliant transmission, audit logging, and the validation layer that catches problems before they hit the payer.
We integrate your claims platform with the clearinghouses and payers your team already uses: Waystar, Availity, Change Healthcare, Office Ally, Optum, and Trizetto. Direct payer integrations for Medicare, Medicaid, and major commercial payers when clearinghouse routing is not the right fit.
We build real-time eligibility verification using 270/271 transactions and prior authorization workflows using 278 transactions. Includes payer portal scraping where APIs do not exist, batch verification for scheduled encounters, and Da Vinci PAS-aligned prior auth flows for CMS-0057 compliance.
We build analytics platforms that show claims operations leaders what is actually happening: clean claim rate, denial root causes, payer-specific performance, recovery rates, and payment integrity savings. Built on Snowflake, Databricks, or Azure Synapse depending on your data stack. For broader healthcare interoperability work, see our healthcare interoperability services.
Not every claims project needs the same structure. Some clients want a fixed-scope module build, others want a long-term build team, and a few need us to take over a stalled in-flight build. We offer four engagement models, with the flexibility to switch as your roadmap matures.
Best for organizations with a clear scope and timeline. You define the feature set, we agree on price and delivery dates, and we build. Useful for individual modules (denial management engine, fraud detection layer, EDI processor) or for organizations replacing one part of their existing claims stack. Typical duration: 4 to 8 months.
We act as your full claims platform development partner, from discovery through architecture, build, integration, launch, and post-go-live optimization. Single point of accountability, single contract, single delivery roadmap. Typical duration: 8 to 14 months. Best for payers, TPAs, and claims service companies building proprietary platforms.
A long-term dedicated team assigned to your claims roadmap. You get a delivery lead, solution architects, backend and frontend engineers, EDI specialists, and a healthcare QA function. Reports into your CTO, VP Engineering, or Head of Claims Operations. Best for product companies and payers running multi-year claims modernization programs.
We modernize legacy claims systems, migrate teams off failing platforms, or take over stalled in-flight builds. Forensic code review, architecture assessment, transition plan, and a stabilized delivery cadence within 30 to 60 days. Useful when an existing system needs a credible takeover before scale breaks it.
Claims software cannot ship without compliance baked in. Our team designs every build around the frameworks below from day one.

We ensure you’re matched with the right talent resource based on your requirement.
Claims run in two directions. Providers submit them and payers adjudicate them, and every buyer segment in between (TPAs, clearinghouses, RCM companies, and value-based care operators) touches the same claims lifecycle from a different angle. Our development team ships claims platforms tuned to which side of that lifecycle you actually operate on and where the workflow, compliance, and integration pressure sits for your organization.
We build claims adjudication engines, payment integrity platforms, prior auth workflows, and the operational tooling payer claims operations teams need. Includes Medicare Advantage, Medicaid MCO, commercial, and dental insurance segments.
We build TPA claims platforms with multi-client architecture, custom benefit rules per employer group, integrated network management, and the reporting tools self-insured employers expect from their TPAs.
We build in-house claims platforms for organizations that have brought claims operations back from TPAs. Includes adjudication engine, network access, integrated reporting, and the compliance layer required for ERISA and ACA.
We build claims operations tools for hospitals, health systems, and large medical groups with dedicated claims teams. Includes denial management at scale, appeals automation, payer-specific workflow tuning, and contract performance analytics.
We build the platforms that billing and claims service companies use to deliver work to their own clients. Multi-tenant architecture, white-label patient portals, and the operational dashboards billing teams need to scale.
We build the claims infrastructure for health plan startups, Medicare Advantage entrants, and digital-first insurers that need to ship claims capability faster than legacy vendor timelines allow.
Our delivery process is structured around six phases that repeat across every engagement, scaled to fit scope.
1. Discovery and Claims Workflow Mapping
We sit down with your claims operations leaders, EDI team, adjudication SMEs, and IT leadership to map current workflows, payer or provider relationships, denial patterns, and the systems your claims software needs to talk to.
2. Architecture and Compliance Design
Our healthcare solution architects design the target system architecture, data model, EDI integration layer, and security baseline. Every design decision is pressure-tested against HIPAA Security Rule, EDI X12 standards, and your specific regulatory exposure (CMS, state DOI rules, ERISA).
3. Agile Build and Continuous Integration
Our engineers ship the platform in two-week sprints with demo-driven progress reviews. Modular delivery so high-impact modules (denial management, EDI processor, and adjudication engine) go live before the full platform is complete.
4. Integration and EDI Testing
We integrate with clearinghouses, payers, providers, and downstream systems. EDI testing covers 837 variants, 835 remittances, 270/271 eligibility, 276/277 status, and 278 prior auth, with payer-specific edits and validation rules.
5. Go-Live and Adoption Support
Phased rollout with parallel run periods so your claims team is never stranded. Includes claims processor training, super-user enablement, runbooks for common operational scenarios, and on-call support.
6. Continuous Optimization
After go-live, we measure, tune, and extend. Monthly KPI reviews on clean claim rate, denial rate, appeal success rate, payment integrity recovery, and adjudication accuracy. Ongoing backlog of improvements based on real claims data.
Three recent client engagements where we turned claims bottlenecks into measurable business results.
A regional health plan covering 1.8M members was processing 14% of claims through manual adjudication, creating a backlog and ballooning operational cost. We built a custom adjudication engine with machine learning auto-approval, rule-based exception routing, and an audit trail for downstream review. Manual review dropped to 4.6% of claims. Adjudication cycle time improved by 41%.
Discover
A growing third-party administrator needed to replace a legacy claims platform that could not handle their new employer group wins. We built a multi-tenant claims platform on AWS with custom benefit rules per employer, network management, and an integrated payment integrity layer. The platform now serves 47 employers with a 96% auto-adjudication rate.
Discover
A large regional hospital network’s claims team was working denials reactively and recovering only 58% of appealable denials. We built a denial management platform with AI-driven root cause categorization, appeal letter automation, and payer-specific workflow logic. Recovery rate improved to 79% in the first 12 months. Total recovered revenue: $8.3M.
DiscoverOur team works with the platforms your healthcare environment already runs, and we recommend new ones only when there is a clear gap.

Picking a claims development partner mostly comes down to one question: do they actually understand the claims lifecycle, on both sides? At Bacancy, 14 years of healthcare engineering means our team speaks 837 claims, 835 remittances, 278 prior auth, payer adjudication rules, denial categorization, and the payment integrity patterns that separate solid claims software from the rest. For organizations building broader systems, our revenue cycle management software development and medical billing software services extend this claims work end to end. We are not a generalist development shop learning healthcare on your project.
Healthcare claims management software handles the full claim lifecycle: creation, scrubbing, submission, tracking, adjudication, denial management, appeals, and payment posting. It serves both provider claims operations (creating and submitting claims) and payer claims operations (adjudicating and paying claims). At Bacancy, we build custom claims management software for both sides of the equation.
Claims management software focuses specifically on the claim lifecycle. RCM (revenue cycle management) software is broader. RCM covers everything from patient registration through final collections, including claims as one workstream among many. Many organizations start with claims management software and expand into full RCM as their operations mature. See our revenue cycle management software development for full lifecycle work.
Yes. Our claims management work covers both sides of the lifecycle. For payers, TPAs, and self-insured employers, we build adjudication engines, benefit determination logic, payment integrity platforms, and prior authorization workflows. For providers, RCM companies, and billing services, we build claim creation, scrubbing, denial management, and appeals automation. Many platforms touch both sides simultaneously.
A focused claims module takes 4 to 8 months. A complete claims platform build takes 8 to 14 months depending on scope, EDI integration complexity, and the depth of payer or clearinghouse connectivity required. Our team delivers in two-week sprints with demo-driven progress reviews, so you see real working software starting in the first month.
Payment integrity software prevents or recovers improper payments in healthcare claims. It includes pre-pay solutions (catching errors before payment) and post-pay solutions (recovering overpayments after the fact). Common functions: duplicate detection, coordination of benefits validation, medical necessity review, fraud detection, and recovery audits. The payment integrity software market is the fastest-growing segment in healthcare claims technology at 13% CAGR.
Yes. We have deep integration experience with Waystar, Availity, Change Healthcare, Office Ally, Optum, and Trizetto. We work with ANSI X12 standards (837, 835, 270/271, 276/277, 278) and proprietary clearinghouse APIs. Clearinghouse integration is typically a 4 to 12 week workstream depending on the level of customization required.
Yes. We build prior authorization workflows aligned with the CMS Interoperability and Prior Authorization Final Rule (CMS-0057), including Da Vinci PAS, CRD, and DTR implementation guides. For payers approaching the January 2027 deadline, we offer focused compliance engagements that get the four required FHIR APIs into production on schedule.
Yes. Common AI features we build into claims platforms include denial prediction (flagging risky claims pre-submission), automated denial root cause categorization, AI-assisted appeal letter drafting, fraud detection (anomaly scoring on claim patterns), and adjudication automation. Every model ships with audit trails, bias testing, and human-in-the-loop review for high-impact decisions.
