Healthcare providers have to verify the eligibility and benefits of every patient before the claim is filed. According to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), in 2019, the eligibility / benefits denial rates ranged between 1 and 50%. About 75% of these claims were rejected because the person was not eligible for the services rendered.
With inefficient Eligibility and benefit verification services, medical billing companies end up with the following problems.
Delayed payments leading to delayed access to patient care, resulting in low patient satisfaction
Increased claim rejections due to inaccurate or missing patient data
Decreased collections and increased bad debt
Delayed
