AI-powered insurance eligibility verification
Insurance eligibility verification confirms a patient's active coverage and benefits before the visit: copay, deductible, network status, and prior-authorization flags. Flexbone runs the check across payer portals, 270/271 EDI transactions, and payer phone lines, then writes verified benefits into the EHR so your team stops chasing and starts collecting.
Eligibility gaps cost you money before you even see the patient
Mismatched copays, missing benefits, and stale coverage data lead to denied claims and billing surprises. Your team spends hours toggling between payer portals, waiting on hold with insurers, and manually entering data that should be automated.
Flexbone unifies 270/271 data, payer portals, and manual inputs into one reliable eligibility record, verified before the patient walks in.

From the moment a patient is scheduled to the point of service, Flexbone confirms coverage, captures benefits, and calculates patient responsibility accurately. Denials that slip through can be worked with AI denials management.

Frequently asked questions
Insurance eligibility verification confirms a patient's active coverage and benefits before a visit: copay, deductible, coinsurance, network status, and any prior-authorization requirements. Flexbone runs the check across payer portals, 270/271 EDI transactions, and payer phone lines, then writes the verified benefits into the EHR so the front desk knows what to collect.
Flexbone submits a 270 eligibility request and reads the 271 response, and when a payer's electronic feed is thin it falls back to the payer portal and then to a phone call. It captures the full benefit set, estimates patient responsibility against contract rates, and syncs the result to the chart before the patient arrives, with no staff toggling between tabs.
The system verifies coverage across commercial and government payers including Medicare, Medicaid, UnitedHealthcare, Aetna, Cigna, and Humana, and connects through clearinghouses such as Availity. It supports multi-payer and multi-location practices from a single workflow.
Flexbone syncs verified benefits into common systems including athenahealth, eClinicalWorks, NextGen, Tebra, and Epic. Coverage, copay, and authorization flags land on the patient record so scheduling and billing work from the same data.
Yes. A large share of claim denials trace back to eligibility and registration errors caught after the visit. Confirming coverage, network status, and authorization requirements before the encounter removes a common denial source and improves point-of-service collections. Denials that still occur can be worked with Flexbone's denials management.
Yes. Flexbone operates under a signed BAA with encryption in transit and at rest, least-privilege access to PHI, and a stored payer snapshot for every verification so billing can show exactly what coverage was confirmed and when.
