๐ Monday Educational Tip: Eligibility Verified โ Authorization Approved
A patient's insurance is activeโso you're good to go, right? Not necessarily. โ ๏ธ
Verifying eligibility confirms coverage is active, but it doesn't automatically confirm that a specific service is covered or that prior authorization requirements have been met.
Before services are rendered, remember the three-step check:
โ
Eligibility โ Is the coverage active?
โ
Benefits โ Is the service covered?
โ
Prior Authorization โ Does the payer require approval?
Taking a few extra minutes upfront can help prevent claim denials, payment delays, unexpected patient responsibility, and lost revenue. ๐ฐ
๐ฌ Does your practice verify all three before providing services?
