Common Eligibility Verification Challenges Scriptem Solves

1. Lapsed Coverage & Inactive Policies

The Challenge: 12-15% of patients arrive with expired coverage they didn’t know about. Medicare terminated, Medicaid redetermination failures, or commercial policies cancelled for non-payment. Front desk discovers at check-in after 30 minutes of services rendered.

Scriptem Solution: Nightly eligibility scrubbing flags inactive policies 24 hours before appointments. Automated patient notifications reduce no-coverage no-shows by 88%. Texas family practice eliminated $65K annual write-offs through Scriptem Eligibility Verification Service.

2. Exhausted Benefits & Visit Limits

The Challenge: Patients reach PT/OT/chiropractic visit maximums, behavioral health session limits, or specialty referral caps without warning. Primary care sees specialist copays spike mid-year from deductible accumulation.

Scriptem Solution: Real-time benefit detail extraction shows exact visits remaining, session limits, and authorization requirements. California PT clinic avoided $42K in exhausted benefit write-offs using Scriptem verification dashboards.

3. Surprise Deductibles & Out-of-Pocket Maximums

The Challenge: Patients blind-sided by $3K-$7K deductibles or $5K out-of-pocket maximums they thought were met. No Surprises Act requires Good Faith Estimates (GFE) within 72 hours for self-pay amounts over $400.

Scriptem Solution: Automated deductible tracking and OOP maximum calculators generate compliant GFEs instantly. New York internal medicine practice reduced patient complaints 92% with upfront cost transparency.

4. Referral & Prior Authorization Requirements

The Challenge: Specialists receive primary care referrals without active authorizations. 25% of specialist visits denied because PCP failed to obtain referral or PA expired. Imaging centers reject self-referred MRIs/CTs.

Scriptem Solution: Referral validity checking + PA status verification at scheduling. Automated PA expiration alerts to referring providers. Texas cardiology practice eliminated $78K referral denials through Scriptem Eligibility Verification Service.

5. Non-Covered Services & Medical Necessity Flags

The Challenge: Routine services denied post-visit because “not medically necessary” per payer policy. Cosmetic procedures, experimental treatments, or non-preferred providers flagged after services rendered.

Scriptem Solution: Pre-visit policy checking identifies non-covered services before scheduling. Medical necessity documentation requirements communicated to providers upfront. California derm practice avoided $55K cosmetic write-offs.
