Check Client Insurance Eligibility

Permissions: Organization Administration Permissions are required to enable eligibility checks.
Billing Permissions are required to run individual and batch eligibility checks.

Insurance Eligibility Checks

 
To check a patient's eligibility, you will need to ensure that you have completed the following:

1. Select the client(s)
2. Ensure the user has Billing Permissions
3. Ensure the user has Administrative Permissions 

Please see below the criteria needed within the Client Details to check eligibility:

1. Client First Name
2. Client Legal Gender
3. Client Date of Birth
4. Client SSN
5. Client Insurance Insured ID Number
6. Client Insurance Group Number 

The Organization NPI needs to be listed on the Organization Profile page, as well as the Payer ID listed within the Insurer's Details in the Billing Tab.
 
When the eligibility check is run and a green check icon appears, this means the check had no errors.  If you receive an orange alert icon, this means the check could be submitted due to errors.  You will need to correct the errors and then run the eligibility again.
 

Our integration with Change Healthcare provides the ability to run insurance eligibility checks to:

• Confirm eligibility instantly while onboarding a new client.
• Run checks individually in the client's profile.
• Batch check everyone with an upcoming appointment to know if their current insurance is still valid or if it needs to be updated.
• Check primary and secondary payers.
