Clinical note → claim codes
A wrong side modifier is caught by the gate before the claim writes.

Structured Output Reliability Gate
Context
A revenue cycle agent extracts ICD-10/CPT codes, modifiers, and payer from a clinical note. The first pass applies a left side modifier to a right knee film; the schema/consistency gate catches the laterality mismatch and forces a corrective retry.
The decision
The validation gate sits between the model and the claim write, a mis coded laterality is a denial or an audit finding, so nothing writes to the claim until it validates.
What most miss
People check that the JSON parses, not that it's consistent with the note. On RCM the expensive errors are consistent looking but clinically wrong, wrong side, wrong modifier.
Stakes
A mis coded claim is a denial at best and a compliance/audit exposure at worst, at scale that's real leakage.
