Enrollment Management
To manage your providers and keep your insurance reimbursement coming you have to stay on top of all the different insurance company requirements. We will help manage enrollment with every insurance company requiring different information and provide regular updates.
We manage and automatically generate notifications of documents that are outdated or missing as well as manage expiration dates, practice locations and CAQH updates. In addition, we can capture and store all documents related to your provider contracts in our secure database.
Eligibility Verification
Patient Insurance Eligibility Verification Is the Beginning.
Rethink Billing staff will verify each patient’s insurance eligibility, including: coinsurance or copay, deductible, benefits cap, where to send the claim, whether the payor requires specialized forms or additional documentation, and whether the payor requires authorization
Determining Eligibility
Once Rethink receives the eligibility request and a copy of the insurance card (front & back), your account representative will submit it to our eligibility department. They will process your request and obtain as much information as possible about the benefits your patient has. Often conflicting information requires multiple calls to determine what the patient’s actual coverage is.
Once the eligibility is completed, you will receive an eligibility response form detailing all the information we obtained from the insurance company. This report will be returned to the practice within 2-5 business days (some carriers now allow 10 days to respond to eligibility verification requests.
A favorable benefits determination does not mean you will be paid by the insurance carrier.
