Insurance eligibility verification is the first and one of the key steps in medical billing and coding process. Most of the medical claims are denied or delayed by the insurance companies mainly due to incorrect or inadequate coverage details provided by the patients during their visits or when the current coverage information is not updated by the hospital or administrative staff. This directly impacts the cash flow of the company by delaying the reimbursements.
Outsourcing this to a service provider having an experienced team of medical billing and coding experts, who are updated with all the regular changes in health plans and policies, will prevent delays and denials of insurance claims. At Flatworld Solutions, we have been offering quick and efficient eligibility verification services to global clients for over a decade.

When we receive the documents from the healthcare organizations / insurance providers, we thoroughly analyze all the documents and verify it against the list of the necessary documents. This process helps to organize the documents as needed by the insurance company.
We verify insurance E&B and insurance coverage details of the patient with the primary and secondary payers either by contacting them directly or by checking their official online insurance portals a day before the scheduled patient encounter. Then we capture and update details in the patient notes - copay, deductible, co-insurance, in-network, and out of network benefits, and, PCP name matching.
If required, we promptly contact the patient for follow-up encounter to seek any missing or incorrect information and get the required authorization as a part of our service procedure check. This helps in keeping track of all the information and cross verifying these details before the final submission is made.
We provide the client with the final results, which include the information about patient's eligibility and benefits along with other details, such as group ID, member ID, start and end dates of the insurance coverage, copay information, etc.

When there is access to updated eligibility data, the chances of getting the claims quickly accepted and processed are also high. This helps in maintaining a constant cash flow into the organization by reducing denials and write-offs and increase patient satisfaction.

This also helps in identifying patients who unknowingly have coverage, reclassify them and submit their claims, which frees self-pay patients from financial burdens.
