The partnership introduces intelligent automation into Star Health’s claims ecosystem, enabling faster, more consistent, and transparent processing. By leveraging AI tools, the initiative also focuses on fraud detection, waste reduction, and improving overall operational efficiency.
Through this integration, Star Health is strengthening its digital capabilities to better serve hospitals, policyholders, and regulators in a fast-evolving healthcare landscape.
