The problem: Practice staff spend hours on the phone to insurers verifying that our new patients have a valid policy. Is there a shortcut?
Healthcode’s reply: If you are an ePractice Lite or Pro user, you can use Healthcode’s Membership Enquiry feature to match patients’ details against the information held by their insurer*. This confirms if a patient is currently insured and ensures your practice has the correct details on its own system from the outset, without the need for multiple telephone calls.
Quick guide
- Select a patient and click on the insurer tab.
- Choose the relevant insurer from the drop-down list, enter any details you already have and save.
- Click Request Membership Enquiry button when it turns blue.
- The system runs a patient insurance registration check against the insurer’s database and prompts you to check for the result.
- If a match is found, click Review & Update to display the details held by the insurer.
- Use this information to update or correct your own patient database, ready for invoicing.
*Currently Aviva, AXA Health, Bupa and VitalityHealth – we are working with other insurers to extend this service.
