RISK & SOLVENCY OPTIMISER
Stop FWA leakage
before the scheme
ever sees the claim.
QR-E is a pre-adjudication validation engine that intercepts unbundled, inflated, and non-compliant medical claims at the gate – eliminating the need for expensive, hostile, retrospective forensic audits.

THE PROBLEM
The audit is too late.
The damage is
already done.
Medical schemes currently absorb inflated claims, recover costs through premium increases, and pursue overcharging through retrospective forensic audits. This process is expensive, adversarial, legally complex, and rarely recovers full value.
Traditional switches look at data syntax. QR-E looks at clinical intent.
01
Unbundling is invisible to existing systems
Medical switches validate that individual codes are compliant. They do not detect when a combination of codes constitutes an unbundled infringement — billing separately for components already included in a procedure’s tariff.
02
Retrospective audits are costly and hostile
Forensic audit processes are expensive, slow, and damage provider relationships. Recovery rates are partial. The legal exposure is significant. And by the time the audit identifies the problem, millions have already been paid out.
03
Members absorb the cost through premiums
Schemes recover inflated claim costs through annual premium increases above CPI. The structural leakage is passed directly to members — who have no visibility and no recourse.
HOW QR-E WORKS
Three layers.
One clean claim.
QR-E sits between the provider and the scheme as a neutral API layer. Claims are validated against contracted scheme tariffs and clinical bundling rules before adjudication. Non-compliant claims are returned to the provider for revision. The scheme only receives claims that have cleared all three compliance layers.

VALIDATES ALL 3 LAYERS
CLEAN CLAIM
IF COMPLIANT
SCHEME
RECEIVES ONLY CLEAN CLAIMS
01
Per-Line Tariff Check
Every procedure code is benchmarked against the scheme’s contracted rate schedule. Items billed above the contracted threshold are flagged before the scheme ever sees the claim.
02
Bundling & Modifier Rules
Facility and equipment modifier codes are disallowed alongside procedures that already include them in their tariff. Modifier stacking and unbundling are caught automatically using set intersection logic.
03
ICD-10 Cluster Cap
All line items sharing a diagnosis code are summed. Individually-valid items are flagged if the cluster total exceeds the contracted composite rate for that diagnosis group.
LIVE VALIDATION EXAMPLE
One colonoscopy.
R4,720 in excess.
Blocked at the gate.
The provider billed R12,220. The contracted composite rate is R7,500. QR-E identified three bundling violations and returned the claim to the provider before the scheme saw it.
Procedure 1653 (total colonoscopy) includes facility, monitoring, and equipment charges in its contracted tariff. Billing codes 0004, 0007, and 0074 separately constitutes unbundling — each appearing individually legitimate, together representing a R4,720 overcharge.
QR-E’s flat code set matrix detects this pattern in a single set intersection operation. No manual review. No audit. No dispute. The claim is returned to the provider automatically.
COMMERCIAL MODEL
Zero financial risk
to the scheme.
QR-E operates on a shared savings model. You do not need a new budget allocation. The platform pays for itself out of leakage it prevents. You only pay for what we catch.

LAUNCH MODEL • RECOMMENDED
Shared Savings
Pay a percentage of the leakage QR-E prevents. If nothing is caught, nothing is invoiced. Your net position is always better than without QR-E running.
10-15%
OF INTERCEPTED SAVINGS PER TRANSACTION
- No upfront budget allocation required
- Invoice generated only on prevented leakage
- You never pay more than the compliant claim value
- Built-in audit trail on every transaction
- Transitions to SaaS tier after pilot validation

INTEGRATION
Come as you are.
No IT backlog required.
QR-E adopts a “come as you are” data policy. Your existing claims format — whether Healthbridge, MediSwitch, GoodX, or a proprietary legacy structure — is accepted and normalised internally. Your IT team does not need to refactor a single pipeline.
Once connected, the integration is permanent. QR-E handles format changes, tariff schedule updates, and regulatory amendments as standard. Your team maintains nothing.
