Verification of Benefits (VOB) is at the heart of any medical billing process. It is the process of requesting approval from insurance companies for the proposed services a patient needs. It may seem like a simple and straightforward process. Most often, it is not. With proper billing and claims management, it may be possible to reduce some of the most common problems. That may increase revenue while also ensuring your patients receive better care. At CodeMax Medical Billing, we’re happy to work closely with you to achieve your best outcome.

Common Problems with Verification of Benefits

What makes VOB so challenging for substance abuse treatment organizations? There are many reasons that the process slows down. When that happens, it puts your organization on the line. Some common concerns include:

• Inaccurate information, such as patient account numbers
• Coverage limitations that are not fully understood
• Issues with verifying a patient’s identification
• Unclear documentation of medical need
• Improper coding processes
• Human error

There are many potential problems that can happen. Every time any step in the process suffers from a mistake or inconsistency, there are problems with the patient receiving the care they need. That’s why it is critical to turn to the right company to handle VOB for you instead of trying to do this in-house.
