An application sent to the wrong payer costs the patient six weeks.

The form sits as a PDF on the payer's website; it is printed, completed by hand and scanned back in. Which route is right depends on the reason for referral, employment status and previous treatment, and these details are in three different places in the record. If a mandatory field is missing at the end, the application comes back and the process starts again.

3possible payersPension insurance, health insurance fund or employers' liability insurance association may be responsible, depending on the case.
2procedural routesPost-acute rehabilitation and the standard application procedure lead to different forms.
24mandatory fieldsThey are in the PDF; the details for them are scattered across the patient record.
6weeks' turnaroundThat is how long it takes for an incomplete application to come back and be resubmitted.

Case RH-2026-0912 leaves the hospital with its procedural route settled and every mandatory field backed by the record, so 50% fewer incomplete applications go out.

The 50% reduction in incomplete applications is this agent's headline figure. Payers, procedural routes, mandatory fields and turnaround time describe a typical application; they are not measured values.

Three steps through the process.

The payer decides on approval; the agent settles the procedural route, fills in the form and backs every mandatory field with the record.

Settle the procedural route in dialogue

The agent asks about the reason for referral, employment status and previous treatment, and names the payer that could be responsible. If the route remains open, it lists both options with its reasoning.

Case RH-2026-0912, standard application route, payer: pension insurance

Complete mandatory fields from the record

The agent takes the details already in the patient record and asks only for the rest. For every field, it notes where the information came from.

22 of 24 mandatory fields completed, 2 queries open

Present the application with attachments for signature

The agent fills in the payer's form and attaches the medical report and supporting documents. Social services read, complete and sign.

What the agent does not do.

It does not submit the application.

It presents the completed application with attachments. It goes out once social services have signed it.

It does not promise approval.

It records which route the details point to. The payer decides on the benefit.

It does not state in the application whether rehabilitation is medically indicated.

For case RH-2026-0912, it takes the reason for referral and the findings from the record and cites the source. The treating doctor writes the medical justification.

The questions that come up before the first meeting.

How quickly is the Rehabilitation Application Agent ready to use?

A pilot typically runs on your own data within 4 to 6 weeks. The agent connects to your existing systems rather than running as a separate, parallel environment.

Where is the data processed?

EU cloud, private cloud or on-premises. Processing is GDPR-compliant and models are never trained on your data. Details in the Trust Center.

Where does the figure “50% fewer incomplete applications” come from?

It is based on experience from comparable projects and process benchmarks, not a commitment. We work out the realistic effect for your organisation during the assessment before the pilot.
