Eligibility & coding
Eligibility history
Every coverage check you've ever run, searchable. Each eligibility request and response is kept as a transaction you can trace. When a payer later says the patient wasn't covered, you can show exactly what they told you and when. Coverage disputes are hard to win when there's no record of the original answer. What ships here includes full request/response trail; search by patient, payer and date. Used day to day by biller, supervisor, admin roles, with availability marked available. Open the sample screen on the right, then walk the steps below — or book a demo and put your hand on the same flow with synthetic data.

What it is
Each eligibility request and response is kept as a transaction you can trace. When a payer later says the patient wasn't covered, you can show exactly what they told you and when.
The problem it solves
Coverage disputes are hard to win when there's no record of the original answer. A screenshot in someone's downloads folder isn't evidence.
