Most claim denials are decided before the patient is ever seen. If coverage is not confirmed and approvals are not in place, the visit may not be paid no matter how well it is coded later. YTC Healthcare verifies each patient’s insurance and secures the approvals you need, for practices across Canada and the United States — from hospital systems down to our billing solutions for independent practices. We catch coverage problems at the front desk, where they are still easy to fix.

THE TWO FRONT-END CHECKS

What We Check Before a Patient Is Seen

Two separate checks protect a claim before care happens, and skipping either one puts payment at risk. The first is eligibility, which confirms the patient’s insurance is active and covers the service. The second is authorization, which is the payer’s advance approval for certain treatments — a step that matters especially for DME claims processing, where most equipment requires approval before it ships. YTC Healthcare handles both, so you know a visit will be paid before you deliver it.

BEFORE THE VISIT

How We Verify Coverage and Secure Approvals

Each check follows a clear routine that we complete before the appointment. The steps below happen for every patient we verify. like our children’s practice billing services clients as it does for adult primary care. Your front desk then knows what to collect and what the insurer will pay.

Confirming Active Coverage

We contact the payer or check its system to confirm the patient's plan is active on the date of service. This single step prevents the common denial of billing a plan that has lapsed or changed.

Reading the Benefits

We find out what the plan actually covers, including the patient's copay, deductible, and any limits. Your front desk then knows what to collect and what the insurer will pay.

Securing Authorization

When a service needs advance approval, we request it and track it to completion. The treatment goes ahead with the payer's approval already on file.

WHY IT PAYS OFF

How Front-End Checks Save You Money
