Why not just use ChatGPT?
Rules that stay current: the rate cards, tariffs, code sets and regulations it checks against are kept up to date for you; a one-off prompt starts from nothing each time. Evidence that stands up: every finding cites the line, the file and the rule, so it holds up with a vendor, a payer or an auditor. The same answer every time: the checks are written rules, not a fresh guess, so this month's result can be compared with last month's. Nobody has to own it: no one inside has to build, test and maintain a home-made tool, and files are not pasted into a public chatbot.
