Patient Eligibility Verification
Eligibility Verification for Faster Payments
Eligibility verification is a crucial first step in the revenue cycle management process for any medical practice. It involves determining whether a patient is eligible for the medical services they require, checking if the healthcare service is covered by the patient’s insurance, and identifying key benefit details such as copays, deductibles, and co-insurance.
Many healthcare providers may overlook or underestimate the importance of accurate eligibility verification, but it is one of the most significant factors in preventing claim denials. According to reports, around 70-75% of claim denials stem from errors in eligibility verification. This shows the high cost of neglecting this vital step, which can lead to claim delays, denied payments, and an adverse impact on a practice's revenue and reputation.
At Linora SA Healthcare Solution, we offer specialized Eligibility Verification Services designed to help medical practices navigate this critical step of the billing process. By outsourcing this task to our expert team, you can focus more on patient care while ensuring timely, clean claims and reducing the risk of denied payments.
The Importance of Eligibility Verification
Eligibility verification is more than just a formality—it’s the foundation of a smooth and efficient billing process. When done properly, it ensures that your practice is reimbursed correctly and promptly for the services rendered. Failing to verify patient eligibility in a timely and accurate manner can result in:
