Primary Care Eligibility Verification Automation

Illustrative Revenue Cycle Automation Scenario. This scenario demonstrates how a healthcare organization could apply revenue-cycle automation. It is not presented as an actual customer result.

The Challenge

A primary care practice with high patient volume was losing revenue to eligibility-related denials. Front desk staff checked coverage once at patient intake, but coverage changes during the year were not caught. High-deductible plan patients arrived without understanding their financial responsibility, leading to uncollected co-pays and delayed payments.

The Approach

1

Sarva automated eligibility verification at appointment booking and again on the morning of the visit.

2

Benefits details — co-pay, deductible, coinsurance — were extracted and presented to front desk staff.

3

High-deductible patients were flagged for pre-visit financial counseling.

4

Coverage terminations triggered immediate alerts so appointments could be rescheduled or self-pay options discussed.

Key Lessons

  • Dual eligibility checks (at booking and day-of) catch coverage changes that single checks miss.
  • Benefits detail extraction enables accurate patient cost estimates and improves upfront collections.
  • Automated high-deductible flagging improves financial counseling workflow.
