Being able to collect payment is essential to staying in business. With an estimated annual $60 billion in consumer bad debt to providers, health care providers must be afforded real-time access to information that tells them how much a patient owes. Already proven that it’s valuable for providers to get real-time electronic eligibility and benefits information, check on the status of claims, and estimate patient expenses.

8 Jill uses the office practice management system, which is integrated with Availity, to find a date/time for Mr. Davis to come in. On Wednesday, Jill checks eligibility and benefits on all patients scheduled for visits the next day. The results of Mr. Davis’ E&B show he is an active member with Humana, is covered by a HDHP, and has $150 remaining on his deductible.

On Thursday, Mr. Davis arrives for his appointment and checks in by swiping his Humana member ID card through a POS device that is integrated with the office PMS system. Mr. Davis is directed to an exam room where he sees his physician, Dr. Lewis. Dr. Lewis accesses Mr. Davis’ EHR (integrated with Availity). Based on the information provided, Dr. Lewis is able to view a recent chest x-ray Mr. Davis had taken a week ago at an urgent care clinic. Based on the EHR information, Mr. Davis’ symptoms, and the exam, Dr. Lewis orders a series of blood tests. Mr. Davis is directed to the lab for his blood draw and told to expect the results in 24 hours.
