Engagement

NEW! Automated Insurance Eligibility Verification

Reduce your chances of providing services for patients without insurance coverage and provide your patients with more informed cost estimation with integrated batch eligibility verification within Engagement.

The Eligibility tab in Engagement requires a subscription to our DI Insurance module. Interested in adding DI Insurance to your subscription? Click here to contact a representative and learn more about getting set up.

Important note: Before you can begin using the Engagement Eligibility tab, you must be using Engagement Bridge Version 132 or higher. Click here to learn how to update your Engagement Bridge.

To begin verifying patient eligibility, navigate to the Eligibility tab in the Engagement left side menu.

Set up an Automatic Verification Rule or use the calendar button to populate a list of patients and view their insurance payor, appointment date, date of last verification, and current eligibility status.

Filter the populated patient list based on patient eligibility status.

Instantly verify individual patient eligibility status using the refresh icon or use Bulk Action to batch verify multiple patients at once.

You can also verify patient eligibility individually in the patient card. Drill down into specific patient insurance details by clicking on the patient name to open their Patient Card.

In the Details section of the patient card, locate the patient's insurance status. Click on the refresh icon to review their insurance details.

Add insurance details directly in the Patient Card, then click Verify insurance.

View submitted insurance forms in the Documents section of the patient card. Choose to download the insurance form or manually send the form to your practice management software (PMS).

Please note: The PDF is automatically sent to your practice management software shortly after when the patient submits the form and PDF is created. The 'Send to PMS' option should be used only if for some reason the PDF file was not yet stored and is required right now.
