Problems it helps with
- Prior authorizations and payer paperwork eat staff time: One free web portal to check whether a PA is required, submit authorizations via a form, track pending auths for all participating health plans on one dashboard, check eligibility and submit/track claims — instead of separate payer portals, phone and fax.
- Claim denials, low pay rates and slow collections: One free web portal to check whether a PA is required, submit authorizations via a form, track pending auths for all participating health plans on one dashboard, check eligibility and submit/track claims — instead of separate payer portals, phone and fax.
