    Frequently Asked Questions

    Patient Verification of benefits (VOB) is the process of verifying a patient’s insurance coverage and benefits for a specific healthcare service or procedure. This is important because it helps healthcare providers determine whether a patient’s insurance plan will cover the cost of the planned treatment or procedure, and if so, what the patient’s out-of-pocket expenses will be.

    Prior Authorization Services, also known as pre-authorization or pre-certification. Prior authorization (PA) is the process of obtaining approval from a patient’s insurance provider before providing a specific service or procedure. This is important because it helps to ensure that services are covered under the patient’s insurance plan and that the patient is aware of their financial obligations before they receive the service or procedure. Prior Authorization Services are typically required for certain types of services and procedures, such as:

    • Specialist visits
    • Hospitalizations
    • Surgery
    • Diagnostic tests
    • Medications
    • Verification of Benefits (VOB) and Prior Authorization (PA) are two distinct processes in the healthcare industry, each serving a unique purpose. Here’s the key difference between VOB and PA:
    • Verification of Benefits (VOB):
    • Purpose: VOB is the process of verifying a patient’s insurance coverage and benefits for specific healthcare services or procedures. It helps determine the extent of a patient’s insurance coverage and their financial responsibility for a particular medical service.
    • When It Occurs: VOB typically takes place before a healthcare service or procedure is provided. It is essential to understand the patient’s coverage to ensure accurate billing and transparency regarding financial responsibilities.
    • Key Focus: VOB focuses on confirming the extent of a patient’s insurance coverage, such as deductible amounts, copayments, coinsurance, and out-of-pocket maximums.
    • Parties Involved: The primary parties involved in VOB are the healthcare provider’s administrative staff and the patient’s insurance company.
    • Prior Authorization (PA):
    • Purpose: PA is the process of obtaining approval from a patient’s insurance company before certain healthcare services, treatments, procedures, or medications can be provided. The primary aim of PA is to ensure that the proposed healthcare service is medically necessary and complies with insurance company policies.
    • When It Occurs: PA occurs before specific healthcare services or treatments are administered, and it focuses on ensuring the necessity and appropriateness of the proposed care.
    • Key Focus: PA focuses on evaluating the medical necessity and appropriateness of the requested healthcare service based on insurance company criteria. It aims to control healthcare costs and maintain quality care.
    • Parties Involved: The parties involved in PA typically include the healthcare provider, the patient, and the insurance company.
    • VOB and PA are important because they help to ensure that patients receive the services they need and that healthcare providers are paid for the services they provide.
    • VOB (Verification of Benefits) is important because it helps to ensure that patients are aware of their insurance coverage and benefits before, they receive a service or procedure. This can help patients to avoid unexpected financial surprises.
    • PA (Prior Authorization) is important because it helps to ensure that services are covered under the patient’s insurance plan and that the patient is aware of their financial obligations before they receive the service or procedure. This can help to reduce denials and delays in payment for healthcare providers

    Resolving Verification of Benefits (VOB) and Prior Authorization (PA) denials can be a complex but necessary process in healthcare. Here are steps to help resolve denials effectively:

    • Review the Denial Reason
    • Correct Errors
    • Re-verify Benefits
    • Gather Additional Information
    • Contact the Patient
    • Resubmit the Claim
    • Submit the Appeal
    • Follow Up

    A Verification of Benefits in Medical Billing is typically performed before providing medical services or at the beginning of a patient’s treatment to ensure eligibility and coverage details with the insurance company.

    The duration of a Prior Authorization Services process can vary depending on several factors, including the complexity of the procedure, the specific requirements of the insurance company, and the responsiveness of healthcare providers. In general, it can take anywhere from a few days to several weeks to obtain approval for a prior authorization.

    Yes, Medicare does require Prior Authorization Services for certain, procedures, services, and medications. Prior Authorization is necessary to ensure that the treatment or medication is medically necessary and meets Medicare’s coverage criteria. It helps prevent unnecessary expenses and ensures appropriate utilization of resources. However, not all services or medications require Prior Authorization under Medicare, so it’s essential to check with your healthcare provider or Medicare plan for specific requirements.
