AI Agents / Workers' Comp

Long-horizon agentic AI for workers' comp claims.

Workers' comp files develop over days and weeks — and the Layerup workers' comp claims agent stays on the file the whole time. It continuously ingests documents, monitors work status, supports compensability review, surfaces return-to-work signals, prepares examiner handoff packages, and routes exceptions — a single uninterrupted run per claim, not a one-shot pass.

01One-shot vs long-horizon

One-shot agents answer. Long-horizon agents finish.

Most AI agents are one-shot: one prompt, one response, no memory, no obligation to finish. Layerup agents are long-horizon — each owns a workflow end to end and stays on it, uninterrupted, for hours or days until the work is done.

Span
One-shot

One prompt in, one output out. The run is over in seconds — whatever state the work is in.

Long-horizon

One workflow worked continuously, for hours or days, until it is actually finished.

State
One-shot

Stateless per call. Everything learned about the case is forgotten between steps.

Long-horizon

Persistent working memory of the whole case — every document, finding, and decision carried forward.

Missing evidence
One-shot

Guesses or stalls when an input is incomplete. Someone has to notice and re-prompt.

Long-horizon

Requests the missing document, follows up, waits for it to land, and resumes exactly where it left off.

Systems
One-shot

Returns a response. Acting on it — updating the core system, moving the queue — is still human work.

Long-horizon

Reads from and writes back to your systems of record throughout the run, every action logged for audit.

Output
One-shot

A label, a draft, a score — an input to someone else's work.

Long-horizon

Finished, decision-ready work with rationale and citations attached, staged for human approval.

In this workflow

A one-shot agent can summarize one medical record. It can't work a comp claim that develops over months — track statutory deadlines by jurisdiction, ingest each new record as it arrives, monitor work status, surface return-to-work signals, and keep the examiner package current the entire time. The long-horizon workers' comp claims agent stays on the file as it develops.

02Workflows

The whole claim, worked in one continuous run.

The workers' comp claims agent does not handle a single moment in the file. Every capability below belongs to the same agent's run — it works alongside the examiner across the life of the claim, for days and weeks, ingesting, summarizing, surfacing, and preparing.

Work status extraction

The agent extracts work status from medical documentation — full-duty, modified-duty, off-work — and updates the file in real time.

  • Work status detection
  • Restriction extraction
  • Status change alerts
  • RTW timeline projection
08

Provider & bill intake

The agent intakes provider documentation and medical bills, classifies them, and stages them for adjudication.

  • Provider classification
  • Bill ingestion
  • Service code extraction
  • Adjudication preparation
09

Nurse case management support

The agent synthesizes file activity for nurse case managers — clinical course, RTW barriers, provider concerns, and next-step recommendations.

  • Clinical course summarization
  • Barrier identification
  • Coordination prompts
  • Care plan documentation support
10

Return-to-work signal detection

The agent continuously scans medical, provider, and employer documentation for early RTW indicators and routes them to the right examiner.

  • RTW signal detection
  • Modified-duty opportunity flags
  • Employer coordination prompts
  • RTW packet preparation
11

Indemnity workflow support

The agent prepares indemnity workflow inputs — wage data, benefit calculations, and statutory references — and stages them for review.

  • Wage statement ingestion
  • Benefit calculation support
  • Statutory rate references
  • Indemnity packet staging
12

Litigation / denial package support

The agent assembles litigation and denial packages — evidence, timeline, statements, and rationale — for legal and senior examiner review.

  • Litigation evidence assembly
  • Denial rationale documentation
  • Timeline construction
  • Counsel-ready packet preparation
13

Fraud flagging

The agent flags fraud signals across statements, providers, prior history, and documentation patterns and prepares an SIU referral packet.

  • Statement consistency review
  • Provider pattern detection
  • History reconciliation
  • SIU referral packet
14

Subrogation flagging

The agent identifies recoverable exposure — third-party liability, premises, products — and stages the recovery workflow.

  • Third-party liability detection
  • Premises and products signals
  • Evidence assembly
  • Recovery workflow trigger
15

Reserve support

The agent synthesizes file activity to support timely, evidence-based reserve adjustments and surfaces drift before it becomes a problem.

  • Exposure synthesis
  • Reserve recommendation support
  • Change driver identification
  • Drift alerts
16

Examiner handoff package & ongoing file development

The agent continuously maintains an examiner-ready package as the file develops over days and weeks, so every interaction starts ready.

  • Always-current file summary
  • Open-action checklist
  • Pending document tracker
  • Decision-ready packet at every touch
