Our Step-by-Step Insurance Verification Process

1. Patient Intake and Documentation
   We start by collecting accurate patient information, such as personal details and insurance data. This information sets the stage for accurate verification and identifies any pre-authorization needs.
2. Verification with Payer Portals or Software
   Our team uses advanced payer portals and verification software to confirm essential details like coverage, co-pays, and deductibles, flagging discrepancies that need further review.
3. Eligibility and Benefits Check
   By verifying eligibility for specific procedures and understanding patient responsibilities, we ensure there are no surprises in costs.
4. Prior Authorization Management
   Certain treatments require pre-authorization. Our specialized team, including Virtual Medical Assistants, ensures these authorizations are secured, preventing potential claim issues.
5. Patient Cost Estimation and Communication
   Once benefits are verified, we provide patients with a clear cost estimate, ensuring transparency and reducing confusion.
6. Accurate Documentation
   We meticulously document all verified insurance details and cost estimates, ensuring the practice has a comprehensive record for billing accuracy.
7. Re-Verification for Ongoing Care
   For patients requiring long-term care, we periodically re-verify insurance to account for any changes, reducing the risk of unexpected claim denials.
