Front-End Access

Verify coverage and secure authorizations before the visit

Denials that start at scheduling are the cheapest ones to prevent. We verify benefits, submit and track prior authorizations and give patients a cost estimate before the appointment, so the claim starts clean.

Everything that has to be true before the patient is seen
One team, one checklist, one worklist. Nothing gets scheduled on a service that needs an authorization nobody has requested.

Eligibility and Benefits Verification

We verify coverage at scheduling and again two days before the visit, and flag plan changes, secondary coverage and coordination of benefits issues.

Prior Authorization Submission

We assemble the clinical packet the payer asks for, submit it, and follow up until there is a decision, including units, dates of service and the servicing provider.

Medical Necessity Check

We compare the order and the chart to the payer policy before the request goes out, so gaps are fixed while the physician is still reachable.

Patient Cost Estimates and Financial Clearance

Patients get an out-of-pocket estimate before service. For self-pay and uninsured patients we prepare the good-faith estimate that No Surprises Act rules require.

Authorization Tracking

We track every authorization by date and units used, not just "approved," with an expiration worklist so a visit never lands on an expired auth.

Peer-to-Peer and Denial Handoff

When a request is denied, we schedule the peer-to-peer with the right clinician and route real denials into our denial management workflow.
