Before starting a treatment, providers need to know the insurance coverage of a patient by a carrier. Many providers have staff to find out the benefits of a patient. The HIPAA act created the 270/271 EDI transactions to make this exchange of information electronically. Payers are required by law to respond to electronic Eligibility requests and the healthcare industry is pushing for the responses to be sent in real time.

Avoid annoying IVR systems and spending countless hours collecting information over the phone with our HIPAA Eligibility Checker. It has enabled providers to create electronic request in the 270 format and to receive and translate the 271 response.

See the features of the HIPAA Eligibility Checker:

• User friendly interface
• Manually create 270 electronic requests
• Creates 270 electronic request files from database
• Views 271 Eligibility response records

The HIPAA Eligibility Checker will help hospitals handle larger volumes of eligibility requests by connecting to your database. After a one time setup process of importing some basic information on the patient, the HIPAA Eligibility Checker will convert this data into 270 Eligibility request files and send them out to carrier. The responses will be received and exported into different data tables for access by your system and processes.

The real-time client enables communications with CORE compliant SOAP or MIME servers.

Many payers and providers invested in image scanning system for their paper claims and often business processes rely on people being able to access the image of a submitted claim from an image store. With electronic claims this process breaks unless you use the HIPAA Eligibility Checker’s image file creation feature.

There are two image file formats to choose from, TIFF and PDF. The image of the claim as you see it on screen can be saved in those formats, including additional pages and detailed COB information. The PDF images are searchable and indexable, meaning there is some basic information of the claim saved in the file in meta data spaces that help with indexing and sorting the images.

You can even create entries in an Image index file or image index database table of every image and its relevant information, file name and location.
