Checking patient eligibility prior to service is essential for any healthcare organization. It helps to ensure that patients are covered by insurance for the services they receive, and that the organization will be reimbursed for those services. However, many healthcare organizations fail to check patient eligibility prior to service, which can lead to a number of negative consequences.
One of the biggest consequences of not checking patient eligibility is denials. When a patient is not eligible for a service, the insurance company will deny the claim, and the healthcare organization will not be reimbursed for the service. Denials can lead to significant financial losses for healthcare organizations, especially if they are frequent.
Another consequence of not checking patient eligibility is patient dissatisfaction. When patients receive a bill for services that they thought were covered by insurance, they can be very frustrated. This can lead to bad reviews and damage to the healthcare organization's reputation.
Finally, not checking patient eligibility can also lead to compliance issues. Many healthcare regulations require healthcare organizations to verify patient eligibility prior to service. Failure to do so can result in fines and other penalties.
