Verification of Health Benefits for Digital Health Startups
Over the past 5 years there’s been a boom of digital health companies going direct to consumer or providing medical services to employees.
Their business is focused on providing health services to individuals. Usually digital health startups start with private pay/cash pay or going through employers. At some point, the startups look into getting credentialed by insurance companies and start taking insurance. This is a great next step to expand their market share but it also comes with a lot of administrative challenges.
Most clinics spend 15-20 hours per week just verifying patient benefits. Then there’s claim submission, A/R, preauth and dealing with appeals. It’s a massive amount of work that startups usually don’t have the bandwidth to take on so they generally outsource it.
One Body works with clinics and digital health companies to help them with verifying benefits of patients and prospective patients. We streamline the process and take over the administrative burden of verifying your patients’ benefits.
We provide digital health companies with 2 things:
(1) Comprehensive verification of benefits service
- We provide you with comprehensive verification of benefits reports which can also be shared with patients
- We call payers for you and get all the information you need before you see the patient
(2) API
- Integrates with your product allowing prospective patients to check their benefits in real time on your website or app before signing up/booking an appointment
