Undisclosed Coverage- Here’s What You’re Missing

Insurance Discovery Solutions- A Prerequisite for Hospitals

Have you thought about the total billable insurance coverage that your hospital can get covered for but other vendors miss? Does your hospital have a safety net solution to maximize your reimbursements? With margins in a downward spiral, and rising rates in uncompensated care, hospitals need a quick, seamless, and holistic solution now, more than ever!

CoverMe’s Retrocheck Solution is the most reliable, advanced safety-net solution that can help hospitals navigate the challenges of uncompensated care. This unique technology-enabled solution helps identify billable Medicaid, Medicare, and other missed commercial insurance that was previously unknown or forgotten. The program assesses retroactively to determine if a self-pay patient had valid insurance coverage at the point of care.

Undisclosed Coverage- The Challenges You Might Face

Identifying previously unknown coverage can be a challenging task. Patients may not always be aware of their coverage or eligibility for Medicaid. In fact, it is estimated that around 20% of patients classified as self-pay or true self-pay may have additional coverage or insurance that was unidentified during the intake process. Why would this be the case?

• Remain unaware that they are covered by one or more insurances. Some patients also tend to have secondary and tertiary insurances.
• Have changed jobs and might be confused about their coverage. 
• Be unaware that they are eligible for Retroactive Medicaid. 
• Withhold information about their insurance due to high deductibles. 
• Change payers and not inform you.
• Transition to Medicaid after availing treatment from you

All the above instances may go unnoticed or uninformed. This leaves hundreds or even thousands of dollars on the table.
