Penguin Ai has launched its Utilization Management and HCC Risk Adjustment solutions in AWS Marketplace. The healthcare AI company's platform automates manual review of clinical records against payer medical policies and CMS coding rules. The utilization management solution reduces prior authorisation turnaround from days to under 10 minutes, with up to 92% of cases resolved without human intervention. The risk adjustment tool captures HCC codes across V24 and V28 models and over 72,000 ICD-10 codes. Both solutions deploy within customers' own AWS environments, keeping member, claims and clinical data inside the health plan's governance perimeter. The company says this eliminates the need for new business associate agreements whilst maintaining audit-ready compliance with CMS regulations. Health plans can procure the solutions through AWS Marketplace's consolidated billing system.
Penguin Ai launches Utilization Management and HCC Risk Adjustment solutions in AWS Marketplace. Autonomous, explainable AI executes two of the most administratively intensive payer workflows - inside the health plan's own AWS environment. PALO ALTO, Calif., Aug. 19, 2026 /PRNewswire/ - Penguin Ai, a healthcare-native artificial intelligence company, today announced that its Utilization Management and HCC Risk Adjustment solutions are now available in AWS Marketplace, a digital catalog with thousands of software listings from independent software vendors that make it easy to find, test, buy, and deploy software that runs on Amazon Web Services (AWS). Utilization management and risk adjustment depend on manual review of complex clinical records against payer medical policies and CMS coding rules - work that contributes to delays in care, inconsistent decisions, and mounting administrative cost. Penguin Ai's AI Workers review documentation for completeness and medical necessity, apply each plan's own policies through a governed Context Layer, and return audit-ready recommendations with Glassbox reasoning - a human-readable rationale for every decision, with configurable human review on every workflow. For utilization management, the solution compresses prior authorization turnaround from days to under 10 minutes, with up to 92 percent of cases resolved without human intervention. For risk adjustment, plans capture accurate HCC codes across the HCC V24 and V28 models and 72,000+ ICD-10 codes, with compliance safeguards built in. Discover more Medical Facilities & Services Pharmaceutical Pharmaceuticals & Biotech Customers can now access Penguin Ai's Utilization Management and HCC Risk Adjustment solutions directly within AWS Marketplace. Because the solutions deploy inside the customer's own AWS account and governance perimeter, member, claims, and clinical data remain in the plan's environment, with no new business associate agreement required. Health plans can procure through AWS Marketplace with consolidated AWS billing and standardized terms, then move from contract to production in weeks rather than quarters. Built-in governance, versioned medical policy, and traceable decisions mean every recommendation can withstand audit and regulatory scrutiny, including CMS-0057-F interoperability and prior authorization requirements. "Health plans have accepted 'normal processing time' as if it were inevitable. It is not - it is a choice. By putting utilization management and risk adjustment intelligence directly inside the plan's own AWS environment, we eliminate that burden at the source. Members get decisions in minutes instead of days, plans get accuracy and auditability they can defend, and no one has to move their data to get there." - Fawad Butt, CEO, Penguin Ai Penguin Ai's Utilization Management and HCC Risk Adjustment solutions are now generally available in AWS Marketplace.
