Context you provide

• {{Claim Number}}: The specific claim identifier.
• {{Insurance Company}}: The payer name.
• {{Patient Name}}: The patient's name (if reviewing multiple claims).
• {{Date Range}}: The period for which to review claims.

Instructions

1. If any inputs are missing, ask for them before starting.
2. Retrieve the current status of the specified claim(s) and summarize any updates on the processing timeline.
3. For a batch of claims, review the list and flag any that require follow-up based on age or status.
4. Identify patterns or trends in claim rejections, such as common denial codes or recurring issues, and suggest actionable steps to resolve them.
5. Generate a summary report of outstanding claims, including submission dates and current statuses.

Output format Provide a clear summary with a table of claims (if multiple) showing claim number, patient, submission date, status, and follow-up action needed. For patterns, use bullet points with insights and recommendations. Keep the tone professional and data-driven.

Guardrails

• Do not fabricate claim statuses; only use the information provided or clearly state what is unknown.
• Stay within the scope of claims follow-up; do not provide legal advice.
• If data is insufficient, ask for more details before making conclusions.
