Large Language Models to Help Appeal Denied Radiotherapy Services

When prompted appropriately, three commercially available LLMs drafted letters that physicians deemed would expedite appealing insurer denials of radiotherapy services. LLMs may decrease this task's clerical workload on providers. However, LLM performance worsened when fine-tuned with a task-specific, small training data set.

Abstract

When prompted appropriately, three commercially available LLMs drafted letters that physicians deemed would expedite appealing insurer denials of radiotherapy services. LLMs may decrease this task's clerical workload on providers. However, LLM performance worsened when fine-tuned with a task-specific, small training data set.
