Missing or Incorrect Verification Costs You Revenue

When coverage is not confirmed before the visit, the result is denied claims, delayed payments, and frustrated patients.

  • 27%

    of all claim denials are caused by eligibility and insurance verification failures that could have been caught before the patient's visit.

  • 15 to 20 min

    of extra staff time per patient is spent manually verifying coverage through payer portals and phone calls.

  • 35%

    of patients are unaware of their own coverage details, leading to billing confusion, balance disputes, and payment delays.

When verification happens before the visit instead of after the denial, your claims start clean and your front desk stops guessing.

How Our Patient Eligibility & Verification Works

Verification that happens before the visit, not after the denial.

  1. 01

    Schedule Integration

    We pull upcoming appointments directly from your PM/EHR so no patient is missed before their visit.

  2. 02

    Real-Time Eligibility Check

    Active coverage, plan type, and network status are verified directly with the payer in real time.

  3. 03

    Benefits & Authorization Review

    Deductibles, co-pays, coverage limits, and prior authorization requirements are reviewed and flagged upfront.

  4. 04

    Front-Desk Handoff

    Verified details are shared with your team in a clear, ready-to-use format before the patient arrives for check-in.

  5. 05

    Ongoing Reconciliation

    We monitor coverage changes and flag mid-cycle updates so billing never works from stale information.

What We Check

Six things verified for every patient, every visit

Not a yes or no on coverage. The complete picture your front desk and your billers need in order to get paid.

Active coverage

Confirm the policy is active on the date of service. Terminated coverage caught before the visit, not after.

Benefit details

What is covered, at what percentage, and any specialty carve-outs against your CPT codes.

Copay and deductible

Current copay, deductible remaining, and out-of-pocket maximum. Collect at check-in rather than chasing later.

Prior authorisation

Whether prior auth is required for the planned services, and the process started if it is.

Secondary insurance

Primary and secondary both verified. Coordination of benefits handled before anything is billed.

Referral requirements

HMO plans that need a referral flagged early, so your team can secure it before the appointment.
