Description

Product Description:
Most of the payers you’ll find on Essentials offer real-time authorizations. Just start with the basic information, and we’ll pre-populate as many of the fields as we can, and in just a few minutes you’ll have an answer that’s straight from the payer. We’re also working with several leading payers to simplify the process even more, with a question-and-answer format rather than the on-screen forms. Our new dashboards let you quickly check the status of all the auths requested by your office. For selected payers, you can even provide unsolicited attachments that you know the payer will need for approval. Once the visit is over, it's time to start the paperwork that gets you paid: claims.
