Alternatives to Change Healthcare for Verification of Patient Health Benefits

By now, I am sure you know that Change Healthcare was hacked. Cyber attacks exposed lots of patient data and each day that Change Healthcare has been done, providers are losing $100 millions per day. Change Healthcare is a subsidiary of Optum which is part of UnitedHealth Group. Providers use Change to submit claims but also Change Healthcare is heavily used for eligibility and verification of benefits.

Some alternatives:

1)  Availity 

Availity has stepped up to be an alternative to Change Healthcare and is doing everything to onboard providers and partners to their platform. They’ve created a quick way for you to switch from Change to Availity.

2) One Body

One Body helps 100+ clinics verify their patients’ benefits. One thing that differentiates One Body from other tools is that we are a tool + service. We actually CALL the payer to confirm every piece of information that you need to know before seeing the patient. This is a crucial step to make sure you don’t see a patient and then not get paid by insurance because you didn’t know that they had exhausted their visit limit or that they needed preauthorization.
