AI agent for billing specialists

Study Billing and Sponsor Invoice Agent

Every billable item is invoiced once, and every invoice is followed to payment.

Study Billing and Sponsor Invoice Agent: what goes in, what the agent does and what you get

What it does

Visits get completed, unscheduled procedures happen, and months later the site finds money it never invoiced. This agent matches completed visits and procedures from the study records to the contract budget, line by line. It flags unbilled items, including extra procedures and screen failures that the contract allows, and drafts an invoice list with the amount and the evidence for each. It tracks payments received and chases unpaid lines with a draft query to the sponsor. After a reply it updates the ledger. You approve every invoice. Edge case: a visit completed outside its window is held for review before billing.

How it works

Follow the arrows from top to bottom. The orange dashed arrow is the loop: when a check fails, the agent goes back and tries again.

How it decides

An item is billable when it is completed, in the contract and has not been invoiced. Items with doubts about window or approval are held.

  • Visit completed and in the contract: bill at the budget rate
  • Procedure not in the contract: hold and ask for sponsor approval
  • Invoice unpaid 45 days past terms: draft a reminder
  • Screen failure allowed in contract: bill at the screen failure rate

What keeps you in control

An example run

What happensIn April, the agent found 38 completed visits and 5 extra ECGs. Two visits were already billed, and one was outside its window, so the check failed for it. It listed 40 items worth 31,200 dollars. Invoice 118 for 8,400 dollars was 52 days unpaid, so the agent drafted a reminder. The coordinator approved the invoices and the reminder.
