Let us manage the complexities of insurance verification—so you can focus on delivering quality patient care.
What Is Eligibility Verification?
Eligibility verification is the process of confirming a patient’s active insurance coverage and benefits before services are rendered. It plays a vital role in reducing denied claims and ensuring financial transparency for both patients and providers.
Our process checks essential details such as:
- Patient demographics and insurance policy data
- Plan type, coverage limits, and exclusions
- Co‑pays, co‑insurance, and deductible amounts
- Policy effective dates and termination dates
- Prior authorization requirements
Verifying these details in advance sets the stage for clean claims, accurate billing, and better patient communication.
