Claims Processing Review with Claude Code: Build vs Buy Decision
A production playbook for claims processing review in cross-industry operations using Claude Code: build vs buy decision, run-scoped inputs, logs, typed results, and artifacts.
Audience: Insurance and operations teams
The problem
Insurance and operations teams need claims processing review to run repeatedly against claim packets, photos, forms, and policy language. In cross-industry operations, the pain is not one good answer; it is repeatability, auditability, exception handling, and evidence that survives handoff.
Implementation path
Compare the work required to operate claims processing review: sandbox lifecycle, provider credentials, input injection, logs, artifact delivery, retries, and result validation.
Tradeoffs and failure modes
Building gives total control; buying the runtime compresses the path to a customer-facing workflow. For claims processing review, the practical test is whether a second run can be debugged, retried, and consumed by a product without reading the raw agent transcript.
Decision table
Build internally if you need bespoke infrastructure primitives.
Use Argo if you need claims processing review as a product workflow: inputs, Claude Code, logs, result JSON, and artifacts.
Use both if a specialized sandbox must sit behind a stable run contract.
