Insurance eligibility checks

AI insurance eligibility and benefits verification before visits

Coverage and benefits are checked electronically before every appointment, and problems go to the front desk days ahead instead of at check-in.

01 today

The problem

Front-desk staff check insurance by phone or portal, one patient at a time, often on the day. Inactive coverage or a missing referral is found at check-in, and visits are delayed or claims are denied later.

02 the run

What the AI does

  1. Step 1: Reads upcoming appointments a few days ahead from your scheduling system.
  2. Step 2: Runs electronic eligibility checks with each payer for every patient.
  3. Step 3: Reads the response for coverage status, co-pays, deductibles and any referral or authorisation needed.
  4. Step 4: Flags problems, such as inactive coverage or a missing authorisation, for the front desk to resolve before the visit.
  5. Step 5: Saves the result to the patient's account so check-in and billing use the same information.

Where a person approves

Front-desk staff contact patients about any coverage problem and decide how to proceed. The tool never cancels or reschedules a visit on its own.

04 after

What changes

Coverage problems are solved before patients arrive, check-in is quicker, and fewer claims are denied for eligibility reasons.
