From medical history to diagnoses, this data holds immense value—not just to providers but also to hackers.

Insurance eligibility verification confirms a patient’s coverage before care, ensuring smooth operations and a positive experience for both patients and providers. When insurance isn’t active or doesn’t cover the scheduled service or booked provider, patients may be left responsible for the full bill. This often leads to payment delays or missed payments which can disrupt the practice’s revenue cycle and introduce further complications.
