The primary reason for claim denials is because a patient is not eligible for services billed to the insurer by the provider. Clarus RCM helps healthcare providers reduce their accounts receivable cycle and increase revenue by reducing denials on account of ineligible patients.

Issues on account of lack of strong eligibility and benefits verification processes:

  1. Reduction in clean claims ratio

  2. Claim denials and consequently rework

  3. Delays in payment from healthcare payers

  4. Reduction in the profitability of the practice
