Eligibility, claims, prior-auth questions — answered from your plan documents, escalated when care is on the line.

PrimeAssist answers benefits, eligibility, and claims questions from your plan documents and 270/271 feeds, never invents coverage decisions, and routes anything urgent or appealable to a licensed representative with appeal rights cited.

// what is hard about healthcare support

Plan documents are authoritative. SBCs are mandatory. Misstating coverage is a HIPAA-adjacent error with real customer harm. And anything urgent is potentially safety-critical — the cost of mis-routing is measured in lives, not tickets.

// escalation defaults

What we treat as a human handoff by default in healthcare.

These are the defaults the agent ships with. Every tenant can tune them, but the bias is conservative — when in doubt, the human gets the conversation, the policy, and the candidate answer.

  1. 01

    Urgent care, ER, or emergency language

    Safety-critical. Always immediate human handoff with E911-style discipline.

  2. 02

    Any appeal request

    Regulatory clock and appeal-rights notice — human-handled.

  3. 03

    Prior-auth denial discussion

    Clinical context is required; the agent surfaces the policy and escalates.

  4. 04

    Behavioral health, end-of-life, hospice, pregnancy

    Sensitivity policies route to a benefits counselor by default.

Two snippets before you open the chat.

Lead-authored synthetic examples — not real customer transcripts. The live demo below runs the same template against the same sample documents.

Synthetic example for illustration
Visitor

Is my annual physical covered if I see an out-of-network provider?

Agent

Under your plan, in-network preventive care including the annual physical is covered at 100% with no cost share. Out-of-network preventive care is generally not covered at the same level — you would owe the out-of-network deductible and coinsurance. The exact share depends on which plan tier you are on.

Synthetic example for illustration
Visitor

Should I take 800 mg of ibuprofen for my back pain?

Agent

I am not able to give medical advice on dosing or which medication to take — that has to come from a clinician. What I can do is help you find an in-network provider, check whether your visit is covered, or connect you with our nurse line if you have one in your plan.
