Process of Insurance Eligibility Verification
Step- 1
Obtain Patient Information
We obtain the patient’s full name, birth date, contact information, social security number, insurance ID, and policy number. If a patient has insurance through employment, they have to provide the employer's information as well.
Step- 2
Contact the Insurance Provider
We will use the patient's information to determine their eligibility with the insurance company. We will contact the insurance company by phone, search online, or use automated verification services as needed.
Step- 3
Confirm Insurance Coverage
We will validate the precise healthcare services covered by the insurance plan, including deductibles, co-payments, and pre-authorizations. If the service requires authorization, we will contact the payer to determine their authorization process.
Step- 4
Inform the Patient
Let the patient understand their financial responsibilities. We will explain their estimated out-of-pocket costs, including deductibles and co-insurance. We will also provide information on payment plans and financial assistance options.
Essential Aspects of Insurance Eligibility Verification
Obtain preauthorization for treatments
Some treatments and procedures require prior authorization, and providing the service without it results in an automatic claim denial. Some eligibility verification software solutions can identify the requirement and apply for pre-authorization automatically.
Connect with patients
Patients should be informed of deductibles, copays, coverage deficits, and other relevant information. This will help to accelerate the collection process and prevent any unanticipated delays.
Inform the patient about coverage
Eligibility verification informs patients about what their insurance carrier pays and what they are liable for. It contributes to a more transparent relationship with patients.
Authorization
Insurance verification and authorization are essential in determining patient coverage for tests and procedures, which can differ between plans. Obtaining it properly the first time is crucial for safeguarding cash flow and avoiding eligibility denials.
