1

Monitor eligibility
on a regular basis

Run recurring batch eligibility checks on your patient or resident census to identify changes in a timely manner. Reduce the risk of claims denials with automatic enrichment of incomplete transactions from payers.

available coverage

Discover unknown or undisclosed insurance coverage with basic patient or resident details. Validate demographic details instantly for more accurate results and a faster path to treatment.

3

Keep tabs on Medicare

Eliminate costly compliance errors by obtaining automatic weekly verification on Medicare eligibility and Medicare as a secondary payer.

4

Leverage automation

Reduce errors and minimize denials by running eligibility checks on all payers when a claim is uploaded. Streamline claims resolution by automating workflows for audits and appeals.
