AHI Software, Inc., a provider of on-demand patient access management solutions, has launched an eligibility verification solution.
"Our Eligibility Verification solution provides accurate verification of patients' insurance eligibility at the beginning of the revenue cycle," said Tony Lopez, vice president of AHI Software. "This verification results in reduced denials, fewer rejected claims and returned statements and a reduction of other delays that impede the collections process and slow the revenue cycle."
Company officials say Eligibility Verification provides automated, real-time verification of the critical fields of a patient's insurance eligibility data, including name, Social Security Number and policy number, so that hospitals can quickly verify a patient's insurance eligibility at the time of registration. Officials say the system automatically compares the data to all major payers and includes many of the regional and smaller payers as well. In addition, the system automatically checks self-pay registrations against Medicaid to identify potential coverage.
It is also possible that co-insurance and deductible information provided by many payers can be used at pre-registration or at registration to request payment or make arrangements for patients to satisfy their financial responsibilities.
