Insurance Eligibility & Verification of Benefits (VOB)
Prevent Denials Before They Happen With Accurate Eligibility & Benefits Verification
One of the leading causes of claim denials in healthcare is inaccurate or unverified insurance information. When coverage details are not checked before a patient visit, it results in rejections, payment delays, patient dissatisfaction, and unnecessary administrative workload.
At Quanta Medical Billing, our Insurance Eligibility and Verification of Benefits (VOB) service ensures you have complete, accurate, and up-to-date insurance information before the patient is seen. With our proactive verification process, your practice can prevent denials, maintain cash flow, and provide patients with accurate financial expectations.
What this means for your practice:
We turn insurance eligibility and benefits verification into a consistent, proactive workflow that protects your revenue and keeps patients informed from day one.
Why Eligibility Verification Matters
Eligibility-related issues are responsible for up to 25–40% of denials in many practices. Common denial reasons include:
These issues are 100% preventable with proper verification. Our VOB process ensures every patient's coverage is fully validated before the visit, resulting in clean claims, fewer denials, and faster reimbursements.
Why Choose Quanta for Eligibility & Benefits Verification?
We combine automation, human verification, and payer-specific expertise to ensure your practice receives accurate, reliable, and real-time eligibility and benefits information before every visit.
✔ Same-Day Real-Time Eligibility Checks
We perform same-day, real-time eligibility checks before each appointment, giving your front desk and providers accurate coverage details instantly. This eliminates surprises, reduces delays, and ensures a smooth experience for both staff and patients.
✔ Manual + Electronic Verification for Maximum Accuracy
Unlike services that rely only on automated tools, we use a hybrid method that includes automated eligibility software, direct payer portal checks, and phone calls to insurance representatives. This ensures complete accuracy and up-to-date benefits, even for complex plans or unclear responses.
✔ Full Verification of Benefits, Not Just Basic Eligibility
We go beyond basic eligibility and verify full benefit details — including deductibles, copays, coinsurance, out-of-pocket maximums, visit limits, procedure-specific coverage, referral rules, prior authorization needs, and in/out-of-network status. Your team always knows what is covered and what extra steps are required.
✔ Support for Every Insurance Type
Our team is experienced in verifying all major insurance types such as Medicare, Medicaid, PPO, HMO, EPO, commercial health plans, workers’ compensation, and auto accident/liability policies. No matter the complexity of the plan, we verify it with precision and detail.
✔ Reduced Claim Denials & Faster Reimbursements
By eliminating eligibility and benefit errors before claims are submitted, your first-pass clean claim rate increases dramatically. This leads to fewer denials, less rework, faster payments, and a more predictable revenue cycle for your practice.
Our Comprehensive Eligibility & VOB Workflow
We follow a precise, multi-step verification process to ensure complete accuracy, full benefit clarity, and clean claims for your practice.
Appointment & Patient Information Capture
Before verification begins, we collect the patient’s demographics, insurance card details (front and back), subscriber information, appointment type, provider specialty, and planned procedure or visit reason. This ensures we have all required data for accurate and complete verification.
Electronic Eligibility Check
Using advanced real-time verification systems, we confirm active status, effective dates, coverage type, PCP assignment (when applicable), and essential eligibility limits. If we identify any discrepancies or unclear information, the case is immediately escalated for manual verification.
Manual Verification Through Payer Portals
For deeper benefit insight, we log directly into payer portals to confirm deductibles, copays, coinsurance, specialist visit details, preventive care coverage, diagnostic and surgical benefits, therapy allowances, mental health coverage, and outpatient vs. inpatient rules. This provides clarity far beyond automated checks.
Phone Verification for High-Complexity Cases
For services requiring detailed review — including surgeries, behavioral health, imaging, or specialty visits — we contact the insurance payer directly. During the call, we obtain comprehensive benefit details, verify prior authorization requirements, confirm limitations and exclusions, check referral needs, and validate any coverage exceptions, ensuring zero surprises later.
Verification of Prior Authorization Requirements
We determine whether specific procedures require authorization, including imaging studies, surgeries, DME, behavioral health services, pain management procedures, sleep studies, and specialty medications. If authorization is required, we flag it immediately and coordinate with your Prior Authorization team — or handle it ourselves if you use our PA service.
Documentation of Benefits Summary
We prepare a detailed Verification of Benefits (VOB) summary, including patient information, payer details, date of verification, contact representative (if verified via phone), deductible and remaining balance, copay and coinsurance amounts, visit limits, authorization requirements, and final financial responsibility. This summary is delivered directly to your practice.
Updating Your EHR/PM System
Our team updates your EHR or practice management system with all verified insurance data, benefit notes, authorization details, and financial responsibility indicators, ensuring complete accuracy before billing is initiated.
Patient Financial Responsibility Communication
If you prefer, we assist with notifying patients about their expected copay, deductible amounts, non-covered services, and any out-of-network concerns. This transparent communication helps prevent billing disputes and enhances overall patient satisfaction.
How Our VOB Service Improves Your Revenue Cycle
Our Eligibility & Verification of Benefits (VOB) service strengthens your entire revenue cycle by preventing eligibility errors upfront, improving claim quality, reducing rework, and creating a smoother financial experience for both your practice and your patients.
Higher Clean Claim Rate
With accurate eligibility and benefit verification completed before the visit, claims are submitted with correct coverage details the first time. This significantly increases your clean claim rate and reduces avoidable rejections.
Reduced Denials
Most eligibility-related denials are entirely preventable. By verifying coverage, benefits, and authorization requirements in advance, we help your practice avoid denials that would otherwise delay or block payment.
Faster Reimbursements
Clean, properly verified claims move through payer systems more quickly. Fewer edits and resubmissions mean faster reimbursements and a more predictable cash flow for your practice.
Fewer Billing Corrections
When eligibility and benefits are confirmed ahead of time, your billing team spends far less effort fixing errors, rebilling claims, or reworking accounts — freeing them to focus on higher-value tasks.
Lower Accounts Receivable (AR)
Eligibility mistakes are a major driver of 60+ day AR. By eliminating these issues at the front end, we help reduce aging claims, shrink your AR backlog, and keep your receivables healthier.
Better Patient Experience
Patients appreciate accurate cost estimates and fewer billing surprises. Clear, verified benefits allow your team to communicate expected copays, deductibles, and non-covered services upfront — improving trust and overall satisfaction.
