Healthcare: Claims Denial Appeal Preparation with Claude Code: Artifact Delivery
A production playbook for claims denial appeal preparation in healthcare operations using Claude Code: artifact delivery, run-scoped inputs, logs, typed results, and artifacts.
Audience: Revenue cycle teams appealing payer denials
The problem
Revenue cycle teams appealing payer denials need claims denial appeal preparation to run repeatedly against EOBs, denial letters, medical records, payer policies, and appeal templates. In healthcare operations, the pain is not one good answer; it is repeatability, auditability, exception handling, and evidence that survives handoff.
Implementation path
Require Claude Code to write customer-visible files under /skill/output/artifacts, validate filenames and sizes, then return signed artifact metadata in argo.result.v1.
Tradeoffs and failure modes
Artifact policy constrains file output, but customers receive files that are durable, typed, and safe to download. For claims denial appeal preparation, the practical test is whether a second run can be debugged, retried, and consumed by a product without reading the raw agent transcript.
