AI Software for Geriatrics
Powered with Artificial Intelligence. Built for Human Intelligence.
AI Software for Geriatrics from Unlimited Systems flags care management time that never reached a claim and predicts Medicare denials before they happen. It drafts codes from the visit note, including wellness, planning, and facility visits. Older adults often carry layered coverage and many chronic conditions. Much of the work that keeps them well is billable only when time and consent are recorded. Unlimited AI watches for those gaps so your team can stay focused on patients and caregivers.
The Practical Side of AI for Specialty Practices
Avoid the pitfalls, cut through the noise, and put AI to work on everyday challenges. With Johnathon Trout (JT), Director of Product Management.
AI Built Around the Realities of Geriatrics
A geriatric practice sees patients in the office, in nursing and assisted living facilities, and at home. Visits run long, involve caregivers, and cover several conditions at once. Much of the care happens between visits, by phone and through care coordination. Nearly every patient has Medicare in some form, and each form has its own rules. It may be traditional Medicare, Medicare Advantage, Medigap, or Medicaid on top. AI helps by tracking time, coverage, and setting so each service bills the way the payer expects.
- Advance care planning codes 99497 and 99498 carry modifier 33 when furnished with the Annual Wellness Visit. That waives the patient's cost-sharing.
- Code 99483 for cognitive assessment and care planning requires specific documented elements, including a written care plan.
- Chronic care management needs patient consent and tracked staff time each calendar month before a claim can be billed.
- Home and residence visits use codes 99341 through 99350. Nursing facility visits use codes 99304 through 99310, with the matching place of service.
- Qualified Medicare Beneficiaries cannot be billed for Medicare cost-sharing under federal law.
- Medigap and Medicaid secondary claims often depend on a crossover. When it fails, the balance sits unpaid.
Where AI Can Improve Geriatrics Operations
- Problem
- Care managers call patients, sort out medicines, and coordinate with other providers every day. When time and consent are not logged, that work never becomes a claim.
- Automation + Intelligence
- Care management time is tracked per patient as staff log it. Patients who reach a billable threshold with consent on file are surfaced for the claim. Patients without consent on file are flagged so staff can ask for it.
- Human Benefit
- Care managers see who is billable without adding up their own time.
- Business Benefit
- Care coordination the team already does is billed instead of lost.
- Problem
- Patients switch between traditional Medicare and Medicare Advantage during enrollment periods. Claims sent to the wrong one deny, and each plan's approval rules differ.
- Automation + Intelligence
- Coverage type is checked on its own before each visit. Medicare Advantage plan rules for approvals and networks are checked for the planned services. Patients with a change or gap are the only ones sent to the front desk queue.
- Human Benefit
- Front-desk staff stop re-verifying patients whose coverage did not change.
- Business Benefit
- Fewer wrong-payer and approval denials.
- Problem
- Medigap and Medicaid crossovers fail without warning. The secondary payment never arrives, or the balance is billed to a patient who should not owe it.
- Automation + Intelligence
- Claims with an expected secondary payment are watched after Medicare pays. Missing crossovers are flagged so the secondary claim can be billed directly. QMB status is checked so Medicare cost-sharing is never sent to protected patients.
- Human Benefit
- Billers chase missing secondaries from a list instead of finding them by accident.
- Business Benefit
- Secondary revenue is collected, and QMB patients are not billed in error.
- Problem
- Wellness visits, advance care planning, and cognitive assessments each have their own rules. The conversations happen, but the codes are missed or the modifier is wrong.
- Automation + Intelligence
- Unlimited AI reads the visit note and drafts the wellness, planning, and assessment codes the record supports. It applies modifier 33 to advance care planning furnished with the wellness visit. Each code is tied to the note text behind it.
- Human Benefit
- Coders confirm a cited draft instead of searching long notes for planning time.
- Business Benefit
- Billable planning and assessment work reaches the claim with the right modifier.
- Problem
- Visits in nursing homes, assisted living, and private homes are easy to bill with office codes or the wrong place of service.
- Automation + Intelligence
- The visit setting from the schedule is matched to the code family and place of service. Drafts that use office codes for a facility or home visit are flagged before the claim is built.
- Human Benefit
- Clinicians who round in facilities do not need to recall each code family.
- Business Benefit
- Fewer setting-related denials and recoupments.
- Problem
- Medicare Advantage and ACO contracts pay on documented complexity and quality. Chronic conditions that are managed but not documented this year lower the patient's risk score.
- Automation + Intelligence
- Chronic conditions not yet addressed this year are surfaced before the visit for the provider to evaluate and document. Falls screening, medication review, and advance care planning gaps are tracked from the same records billing uses.
- Human Benefit
- Clinicians see the open items before they walk into the room.
- Business Benefit
- Contract results reflect the real complexity of the panel.
The Evolution of Intelligence in Geriatrics
Medicare and Medicare Advantage eligibility, QMB checks, and claim status requests run on their own for office, facility, and home visits.
Care management patients missing consent, failed crossovers, and facility visits coded as office visits are flagged.
Missing secondary payments and Medicare Advantage denials move ahead of routine follow-up.
Each flagged item names the fix, such as the secondary payer to bill, the place of service to correct, or the consent to obtain.
Emerging capability: secondary claims for failed crossovers could be filed on their own once the primary payment posts. The platform's design supports it, but it is not live yet.
Work by Exception for Geriatrics
A patient's Annual Wellness Visit includes an advance care planning talk. The draft carries 99497, but modifier 33 is missing, so the patient would be billed cost-sharing.
Unlimited AI flags that one visit and suggests modifier 33, citing the planning time in the note. The rest of the day's wellness and follow-up visits that pass their checks go out with no manual pass.
AI Tracks the Time. Your Geriatric Team Cares for the Person.
Geriatric care depends on long visits, trust with families, and steady follow-up between appointments. Care teams should be talking with patients and caregivers, not tallying time or checking which Medicare plan a patient chose this year. Automation handles the tracking and coverage checks. Every sensitive question about care, cost, or coverage still goes to a person.

Frequently Asked Questions About AI for Geriatrics
Geriatric practices carry a lot of billable work that is easy to miss. AI software for geriatrics tracks care management time, drafts wellness, planning, and assessment codes from notes, and predicts Medicare denials. It also watches for failed crossovers and protects QMB patients from improper bills. Routine claims move on, and staff see only the visits and accounts that need them.
Chronic care management needs consent and enough tracked staff time in the calendar month. The platform logs time per patient as staff record calls and coordination. Once a patient's logged time meets the billing threshold and consent is on file, the claim is prompted. Patients with logged time but no consent on file are flagged, so staff can ask for consent before the service is billed.
When advance care planning is furnished with the Annual Wellness Visit, Medicare waives the patient's cost-sharing if the claim carries modifier 33. Unlimited AI drafts code 99497, and 99498 when the documented time supports it, with modifier 33 where it applies. Each code is tied to the planning time in the note. Visits where the time is unclear go to a coder.
Qualified Medicare Beneficiaries cannot be billed for Medicare cost-sharing. QMB status is checked during eligibility. At posting, Medicare cost-sharing for those patients is adjusted or sent to Medicaid instead of to the patient. Patient statements are reviewed for QMB and Medicaid protections before they go out, so protected patients do not receive a bill they should not get.
Medigap and Medicaid secondary claims usually follow Medicare through a crossover. The platform watches claims where a secondary payment is expected. If it does not arrive, the claim is flagged so staff can bill the secondary payer directly. That keeps the balance from sitting unpaid or being sent to the patient by mistake, which matters for patients on fixed incomes.
Facility and home visits use their own code families and places of service. The platform matches the visit setting from the schedule to codes 99304 through 99310 for nursing facilities or 99341 through 99350 for homes and residences. Drafts that use office codes for those settings are flagged before the claim is built, so each visit is paid as delivered.
Medicare Advantage and ACO contracts pay based on documented patient complexity and quality. The platform surfaces chronic conditions that have not been evaluated this year, so providers can address and document them at the visit. Falls screening, medication review, and advance care planning gaps are tracked too. Reports draw from the same records as billing.
