Miami, FL, July 17, 2008 - AHI Software, Inc., the leader in on-demand Patient Access Management solutions, today announced the launch of its Eligibility Verification solution.
AHI’s Eligibility Verification provides automated, real time verification of the critical fields of a patient’s insurance eligibility data — such as name, SSN, policy number, etc. — so hospitals can quickly verify a patient’s insurance eligibility at the time of registration. The system automatically compares the data to all major payers and includes many of the regional and smaller payers as well.
“Our Eligibility Verification solution provides accurate verification of patients’ insurance eligibility at the beginning of the revenue cycle,” explained Tony Lopez, Vice President of AHI Software. “This verification results in reduced denials, fewer rejected claims and returned statements and a reduction of other delays that impede the collections process and slow the revenue cycle.”
In addition, the system automatically checks self pay registrations against Medicaid to identify potential coverage. Depending upon patient financial service policies, the co-pay, coinsurance and deductible information provided by many payers can be used at pre-registration or at registration to request payment or make arrangements for patients to satisfy their financial responsibilities.
