Ineligibility Issues
Denials due to ineligibility are a major financial burden for medical practices. Up to 75% of claims can be rejected because a patient isn't covered for the treatment. This can happen due to inaccurate patient information, outdated details, or other issues. Synova uses real-time collaboration with insurance companies to ensure accurate information and reduce ineligibility denials.

Optimized Revenue Cycle
Accurate verification at the initial patient encounter establishes a solid foundation for a smooth revenue cycle. It ensures all subsequent steps, from coding and billing to collections, are based on verified information, optimizing overall revenue cycle performance.
Collect Patient Information
The initial step involves the meticulous gathering of essential patient details. This encompasses personal information, insurance data (including provider name, policy and group numbers), and any other pertinent information. Typically, this collection occurs during patient registration or prior to the scheduled appointment.
Verify Eligibility
We verify the patient's coverage and active status through an automated eligibility verification system or by contacting the payer.
Confirm Benefits
After verifying eligibility, we review the plan to determine the covered benefits, which include co-pays, deductibles, co-insurance, covered services, as well as any exclusions or limitations.
Communicate with Patient and Update Records
After verification, we inform the patient about their coverage details and update the Practice Management or Electronic Health Record (EHR) system with the verified eligibility and benefits information.
The process of confirming a patient's insurance coverage and the specific benefits they are entitled to under their insurance plan before providing healthcare services.
Eligibility and benefits should be verified at the time of scheduling, during pre-registration, and again on the day of the appointment to account for any changes in the patient's insurance status.
This process is crucial to prevent claim denials and rejections, ensure accurate billing, improve cash flow, enhance patient satisfaction, and minimize financial risks for healthcare providers.
Failure to verify eligibility and benefits can lead to claim denials, delayed payments, increased patient dissatisfaction, and higher administrative costs due to the need for follow-up and rework.
Verification can be done manually by contacting the insurance provider or electronically through automated verification systems that integrate with the provider's practice management or electronic health record (EHR) systems.
