• Abstract summary: This study presents the results of a generalizable machine learning approach to predicting medical events built from 40 years of data from >860,000 patients pertaining to >6,700 prescription medications. It was found that models built using this approach performed well when compared to similar studies predicting physician prescriptions of individual medications.

• Abstract: Accurate estimation of healthcare costs is crucial for healthcare systems to plan and effectively negotiate with insurance companies regarding the coverage of patient-care costs. Greater accuracy in estimating healthcare costs would provide mutual benefit for both health systems and the insurers that support these systems by better aligning payment models with patient-care costs. This study presents the results of a generalizable machine learning approach to predicting medical events built from 40 years of data from >860,000 patients pertaining to >6,700 prescription medications, courtesy of Marshfield Clinic in Wisconsin. It was found that models built using this approach performed well when compared to similar studies predicting physician prescriptions of individual medications. In addition to providing a comprehensive predictive model for all drugs in a large healthcare system, the approach taken in this research benefits from potential applicability to a wide variety of other medical events.

  The Large Medical Model (LMM) is a generative pre-trained transformer (GPT) designed to guide and predict the broad facets of patient care and healthcare administration. The model is trained on medical event sequences from over 140M longitudinal patient claims records with a specialized vocabulary built from medical terminology systems. The LMM is able to improve both cost prediction by 14.1% over the best commercial models and chronic conditions prediction by 1.9% over the best transformer models in research predicting a broad set of conditions.

  Medication recommendation targets to provide a proper set of medicines according to patients' diagnoses, which is a critical task in clinics. We propose Conditional Generation Net (COGNet) which introduces a novel copy-or-predict mechanism to generate the set of medicines. We validate the proposed model on the public MIMIC data set, and the experimental results show that the proposed model can outperform state-of-the-art approaches.

  Health insurance companies cover half of the United States population and pay 1.2 trillion US dollars every year to cover medical expenses for their members. The actuary and underwriter roles at a health insurance company serve to assess which risks to take on and how to price those risks to ensure profitability of the organization. We developed a sequence of two models, an individual patient-level and an employer-group-level model, to predict the annual per member per month allowed amount for employer groups. Our models performed 20% better than the insurance carrier's existing pricing model, and identified 84% of the concession opportunities

  High-cost claimants (HiCCs) represent just 0.16% of the insured population but account for 9% of all healthcare costs. We applied machine learning to train binary classification models to calculate the personal risk of HiCC.
