Transactions for patient eligibility and benefits just got better! WCH highly recommends using the new card swipe technology in order to explore and/or process a patient's eligibility information and records as well as eliminating manual data entry by swiping patient's insurance card. The new card swipe software provides over 564 payers for real time as well as PCP information, out of pocket stop loss, deductible, co pay information, store demographic data, and active or inactive data plus more. Payer Gateway Plus provides the software and swipe card reader which is designed to reduce time spent in order to be able to verify individual patients and/or multiple patients (batches) to be processed at one time. Fully processing batches and response time in which data to be returned from payer is within 24 hours, however most process within 1 – 2 hours, transaction responses within 3-6 seconds. Responses are viewed colorcoded in order to display if they are active or inactive as a table in which to compare PCP information, coverage status as well as other information and can be customizable to your fulfillment. Sound too good, to be true? Retrieve patient's information that was previously processed for re-verification by name, DOB or account number in your history that has automatically saved up to 2 years and gives you the ability to upload your entire patient population. Schedule multiple appointments that can be exported to Microsoft Excel as well as your work list and save it where ever you'd like. Determine estimate of your patient's payments or patient's payment plan when linked to real- time credit card processing, which is optional, having the patient pay up front before walking out the door and would have to bill awaiting responses.
