Create a Verification Checklist Insurance name, phone number, and claims address Insurance ID and group number Name of insured, as it isn't always the patient Relationship of the insurance to the patient Effective date of the policy End date for the policy Whether coverage is currently active www.bikham.com
Get a Copy of The Patient's Insurance Card Begin the process of collecting information by asking for a copy of new insurance information from the patient. It's a good idea to ask for a copy of the card even if the patient states that insurance hasn't changed. www.bikham.com
Contact The Insurance Provider Don't take information on cards at face value. Even a few weeks after a card is issued, insurance coverage may have changed or been discontinued. Contact the insurance company directly to ensure eligibility. www.bikham.com
Record Accurate Information The correct information regarding Insurance eligibility verification builds the foundation of the medical claim. Even a single data error may cause days or weeks of delay on payments, and even could go unpaid.
