How Does Insurance Eligibility Verification Work?
Each step is coordinated by our verification specialists to ensure that coverage concerns arise prior to the appointment rather than during the processing of claims.
Step 1: Patient & Appointment Data Collection
Before the appointment, we retrieve patient demographic and insurance data from your scheduling or EHR system
Step 2: Eligibility Check (Real-Time or Batch)
We verify whether the policy is now in effect using EDI 270/271 connections, payer portals, or clearinghouse tools.
Step 3: Benefits Verification
We confirm the patient's plan's coverage for the intended service, as well as the deductible status, copay, coinsurance, and visit restrictions
Step 4: Authorization & Referral Check
We analyze that a referral or prior authorization is necessary and mark it for follow-up prior to the service date.
Step 5: Manual Follow-Up (When Needed)
To verify eligibility and benefits, our staff contacts the insurance carrier directly if a payer does not reply electronically.
Step 6: Documentation & Handoff
Verified results, including patient responsibility estimates, are documented and shared with your front desk and billing team before check-in.
