Claim Assistant
Handling claim rejections and denials can be a time-consuming process that may require reaching out to payers or our team for guidance. With Claim Assistant, you’ll receive AI-powered recommendations that identify issues, explain what happened, and guide you through next steps.
When reviewing a rejected or denied claim, click Claim assistant to see more information about what caused the issue.
A panel will open explaining the issue and how to resolve it.
Follow the recommended steps to resolve the issue, and use our corrected claim workflow to resubmit the claim.
For information about Claim Assistant and answers to frequently asked questions, see Claim Assistant FAQs.
Autofill payments with EOB uploads
Manually adding insurance payments can require reviewing several pages of an Explanation of Benefits (EOB) and adding payment information one appointment at a time. Insurance Navigator automates this process by reviewing an uploaded EOB and posting the information for you to review.
When adding an insurance payment, choose the payer and upload the EOB.
Click Autofill payment and Insurance Navigator will fill in the payment details for you to review.
Verification of benefits
Not knowing a client’s coverage before an appointment can lead to claim denials and unexpected bills.
Insurance Navigator automatically verifies clients' insurance benefits, helping you identify coverage issues before appointments and better understand what clients may owe.
When a client has insurance information on file, our clearinghouse will retrieve coverage details prior to their next appointment, including estimated client responsibility, benefit information, and coverage status.
Depending on the verification result, you’ll see one of the following coverage statuses:
- Active
- We’re able to verify the client’s insurance is active and provide an estimated client responsibility based on information returned by the payer.
- Inactive
- We’re unable to verify active coverage using the client’s insurance information on file, which may mean their coverage is expired or the insurance information on file is incorrect.
- Needs review
- We’re unable to verify the client’s benefits. This doesn’t necessarily mean their insurance information is incorrect or their coverage is inactive.
If a client’s plan has an Active status, expand their benefit details to see available information, such as their estimated client responsibility, deductible, or out-of-pocket maximum.
