Accurate patient-cost estimates that strengthen point-of-service collections
Clear, detailed benefit breakdowns delivered ahead of the appointment
Your Trusted Eligibility Verification Partner in the United States
Most denied claims don’t fail because of bad coding or sloppy submission they fail because nobody confirmed the coverage was good in the first place. A lapsed policy, an unmet deductible, a missing authorization, a patient who quietly switched plans in January and never mentioned it: small gaps like these bleed practices of revenue every single day. Billing and Coding exists to catch them upstream before a claim is built, before a service is rendered, before the money drifts out of reach.
Think of our verification team as the diligent first line of your revenue cycle. For every patient on your schedule, we pull active coverage, decode the benefit structure, surface co-pays and deductibles, and flag anything that needs an authorization or referral then hand it all back to your staff in plain language, well ahead of the visit. Whether you run a solo practice, a sprawling specialty group, or a multi-site facility juggling a dozen payers, our process slots into the way your front office already operates. You get certainty before the patient arrives; we do the legwork that makes that certainty possible.
Comprehensive Eligibility Verification Services We Provide
From the instant an appointment lands on your calendar to the moment a patient checks in, we pin down every detail of their coverage pairing meticulous, payer-by-payer attention with the kind of benefit fluency that keeps denials rare and your collections predictable.
Real-Time Eligibility Inquiries
We run live electronic eligibility checks through clearinghouses and direct payer connections, pulling back current coverage status in moments rather than hours. Each inquiry confirms the policy is active on the actual date of service, so your team never bills against coverage that quietly terminated weeks earlier.
Active Coverage & Plan-Type Confirmation
HMO, PPO, EPO, POS, Medicare Advantage, straight Medicaid every plan type carries its own rulebook. We pin down exactly which plan a patient holds, confirm its effective and termination dates, and document the specifics your billers need so each claim routes to the correct payer the first time.
Benefit, Deductible & Co-Pay Breakdown
Coverage by itself tells you almost nothing. We dig into the financial particulars: remaining deductible, co-pay amounts, co-insurance percentages, and how close the patient sits to their out-of-pocket maximum the figures that decide what you'll actually collect and what the payer will genuinely pay.
Prior Authorization & Pre-Certification Requirements
Some services simply won't be reimbursed without approval locked in beforehand. We flag which procedures demand prior authorization or pre-certification under each patient's plan, so nothing gets scheduled and then denied for want of a green light your team never knew it needed.
Coordination of Benefits (COB)
When a patient carries two or three policies, billing them in the wrong order all but guarantees a rejection. We untangle primary, secondary, and tertiary responsibility, verify each layer of coverage, and establish the correct sequence so claims move cleanly from one payer to the next instead of bouncing back.
In-Network vs. Out-of-Network Status
A patient who assumes you're in-network when you aren't is a balance-billing headache waiting to happen. We confirm your participation status under each specific plan, so you and the patient both see the real cost picture long before the explanation of benefits ever lands in a mailbox.
Referral Requirement Verification
Plenty of plans, HMOs especially, won't touch a specialist visit unless a valid referral already sits on file. We check whether one is required, whether it exists, and whether it's still current closing a gap that routinely sends otherwise clean specialty claims straight into denial.
Patient Financial Responsibility Estimates
Guesswork at the front desk quietly costs you collections. Drawing on verified benefit data, we calculate what each patient is likely to owe before they're seen, handing your staff a concrete number to discuss and collect up front and sparing patients an unwelcome surprise down the line.
Medicare & Medicaid Eligibility Checks
Government payers arrive with their own maze of entitlement rules, secondary coverage, and state-by-state Medicaid variation. We verify eligibility, identify any Medicare Advantage or supplemental plans, and validate Medicaid status so these notoriously denial-prone claims begin life on solid ground.
Our Eligibility Verification Process
Schedule Sync & Patient Data Intake
We pull your upcoming appointment roster usually several days out and gather the demographic and insurance details needed to verify every patient on the list before their visit arrives.
Payer Lookup & Live Inquiry
For each patient, we query the right payer through real-time electronic transactions, web portals, or a direct phone call when a plan demands the human touch, confirming active coverage on the precise date of service.
Benefit Detail Capture
We document the particulars that actually matter: plan type, deductible status, co-pays, co-insurance, authorization and referral requirements, and coordination-of-benefits order the full financial picture, not a bare yes or no.
Discrepancy Flagging & Resolution
When something looks off terminated coverage, a missing authorization, a plan the patient never disclosed we flag it on the spot and chase down the answer, so the problem gets solved before the visit rather than after the denial.
Verification Summary & Delivery
You receive a clean, readable verification summary for each patient well ahead of the appointment complete with a patient-responsibility estimate and any action items your front desk needs to handle.
Eligibility Verification Outsourcing Solutions Built for U.S. Providers
Handing your eligibility checks to Billing and Coding lifts one of the heaviest, most error-prone tasks off your front desk and replaces it with verified coverage, accurate estimates, and a denial rate that finally starts trending the right direction, all without the headcount you’d otherwise have to recruit, train, and retain.
Stop Denials Before They Ever Start
Eligibility issues sit near the top of nearly every practice's denial list and the overwhelming majority are preventable. By verifying coverage on the front end, we shut down the single largest source of avoidable rejections before a claim is ever assembled.
Clear the Front-Desk Verification Bottleneck
Phone trees, payer portals, and endless on-hold music devour hours your staff doesn't have. We absorb that grind entirely, so your front desk isn't forced to choose between verifying the next patient and greeting the one already standing at the window.
Collect More at the Point of Service
You can't ask a patient to pay a number nobody has calculated. Armed with verified benefits and a real responsibility estimate, your team can confidently collect co-pays and balances at check-in the moment when collection is easiest, fastest, and cheapest.
Scale Across Locations and Volume Spikes
A packed flu season or a brand-new office location shouldn't fracture your verification workflow. Our capacity flexes with your schedule from day one no hiring scramble, no onboarding lag, no backlog of unverified patients quietly stacking up behind the desk.
Give Your Front-Office Staff Their Day Back
When your people are pinned on hold with payers, scheduling slips, service slows, and the waiting room feels every minute of it. Pulling verification off their plate frees them to refocus on patients, phones, and the work only an on-site team can do.
What Makes Our Verification Team Different
We don't simply tick a coverage box and move on. We read the fine print, surface the costs, catch the authorizations, and treat every uncaught eligibility gap as lost revenue we flatly refuse to let through because for your practice, that's precisely what it is.
Why Healthcare Providers Trust Billing and Coding
Choosing who guards the front end of your revenue cycle is no small decision — eligibility is the exact point where denials are either prevented or quietly manufactured. Here’s what separates our team from the box-checking verification mills crowding the market, and why providers across the United States trust us with the very first step of getting paid.
