- 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.

We propose a novel model called Robust and Accurate REcommendations for Medication (RAREMed) to enhance accuracy for rare diseases.
It employs a transformer encoder with a unified input sequence approach to capture complex relationships among disease and procedure codes.
It provides accurate drug sets for both rare and common disease patients, thereby mitigating unfairness in medication recommendation systems.

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.
Our results demonstrate that high-performing predictive models can be constructed using claims data and publicly available data alone.
