About this paper

Himanshu Pandey, Akhil Amod, Shivang

RISA Labs introduced a two-step multi-agent system leveraging Large Language Models to automate medical necessity justification for prior authorizations. The system achieved 86.2% accuracy for granular leaf-node judgments and 95.6% for overall checklist judgments, demonstrating a robust method to streamline administrative tasks in healthcare.

Key insights

  • Decomposing complex real-world problems like PA justification into specialized sub-tasks handled by distinct LLM agents within a MAS framework significantly enhances problem-solving and scalability.
  • Retrieval-augmented generation, using an encoder for top-k evidence selection, effectively filters large EHRs, preserving useful information (86.89% recall for k=40) while substantially reducing data volume for LLMs.
  • Chain of Thought (CoT) prompting combined with In-Context Learning (ICL) examples consistently improves LLM performance for complex logical aggregations in both granular and aggregated judgment tasks.
