‍Why practices should care about verifying patient health benefits?

There are so many reasons why your practice should care about verifying your patients’ health benefits.

1. Fewer Claim Denials: If you verify your patients’ benefits before providing services to them, you are less likely to have claims denied. You can determine if the insurance plan is active, the service type is covered and exactly what is required to get paid by insurance (ie prior auth). 

2. Predictable Cash Flow: By decreasing claim denials, you get paid quicker and in a more predictable manner.

3. Satisfied Patients: Patients always appreciate transparency. They want to know exactly what they are responsible for and what insurance will pay. 

4. Less Administrative Burden on Staff: When insurance claims are denied, staff have to continuously call, figure out the appeal process and put in extra work to get paid. This takes away from the patient experience.
