These candidates are possible clients for your hospital or health care institution, this is why having an eligibility management service tasked to lessen the process of claiming revenue from the eligible candidate and the health insurance providers that they have applied under.

Because many practices don’t have the time to gather insurance information when a patient calls to set up an appointment, the risk of claims being denied is higher. In fact, thousands of claims are denied due to eligibility issues, thereby affecting the hospital’s revenue. This is why it’s important for hospitals to find a partner who can do this task for them.
