Why Eligibility & Benefits Verification Matters
Every denied claim costs your practice time and money.
When practices implement proper Eligibility & Benefits Verification, claim rejections drop by 40% on average within 90 days.
Here’s the reality: checking if a patient “has insurance” isn’t enough. You need to verify their insurance policy number, confirm their deductible and copayment amounts, and check if pre-authorization is required—all before the appointment.
According to AHIMA 2025 research, practices using systematic insurance eligibility verification see 38% faster payments and happier patients who know their costs upfront.
Manual verification doesn’t work anymore. Insurance rules change constantly across Aetna, UHC, BCBS, Cigna, Humana, and other payers. Your team needs automated, real-time verification integrated with your EHR systems.

How Our Verification Process Works
Step 1: Capture Patient Details Your front desk collects basic patient information, insurance policy number, and group ID during scheduling.
Step 2: Automated Verification Our system queries payer databases instantly. Results come back in 2-3 minutes, not 20.
Step 3: Benefits Analysis We identify coverage dates, deductible status, coinsurance percentages, in-network vs. out-of-network status, and service limitations.
Step 4: Authorization Management If pre-authorization verification is needed, we start the process immediately and track approval status.
Step 5: Results Delivered Your team gets clear summaries with exact patient copayment amounts for transparent financial conversations.
