What is real-time patient eligibility verification?
Real-time patient eligibility verification is the process of electronically confirming a patient's active insurance coverage, benefits, copay amounts, deductible status, and plan details before or at the point of service. Eligibility errors drive about 24% of all initial claim denials in US healthcare, creating costly rework and lost revenue. QuickIntell's eligibility verification software performs automated 270/271 transactions across 3,500+ US payors in real time, verifying Medicare, Medicaid, commercial, and workers' compensation coverage within seconds. The system runs batch eligibility checks on scheduled patients, flags coverage gaps or changes, identifies coordination of benefits issues, and routes exceptions to staff for resolution so teams can prevent eligibility-driven registration denials and improve point-of-service collections with accurate patient financial responsibility estimates.

Frequently Asked Questions
What status states will I see?
`PENDING` | Check was started but no answer yet | Wait 5–10 seconds; if still pending, check Operations → Vendor Health. `ACTIVE` (green) | Coverage is in effect for the service date | Save & Notify Front Desk; collect listed copay. `INACTIVE` (red) | Plan has ended or is not in effect for this date | Mark Self-Pay (triggers Insurance Discovery) or contact patient. `ERROR` (red) | Transport problem, payer down, or both vendors failed | Click Retry; if both vendors are down, click Schedule Auto-Retry. `STALE` (amber) | Last check is older than your freshness window (default 30 days) | Multi-select stale rows and click Re-verify Selected. AAA reject (red banner) | Payer rejected the inquiry — bad ID, wrong subscriber, etc. | Check the AAA code, fix the underlying field on the Coverage record, click Retry. `OVERRIDE` | Front-desk staff manually marked the patient verified despite a missing/failed check | Document reason; tracked weekly — keep under 5 per facility.
What happens when both clearinghouses are down?
You'll see a clear message asking you to try again later, and you can click **Schedule Auto-Retry** to have QuickRCM keep trying every 30 minutes. Your work isn't lost. Don't manually override — wait for the payer to come back.
Can I look up coverage on a past date for a denial?
Yes. Use the **Service Date** field on the Single Patient Eligibility Check screen. This is essential for resolving denials from old visits.
Is QuickIntell HIPAA-safe and what BAAs are in place?
Yes. All data is encrypted at rest and in transit. Every action is logged. Access is limited by role. Both Availity and Stedi are HIPAA-covered Business Associates with executed agreements.
How fast are eligibility verifications?
Typical verification takes 2-5 seconds per payer response. Slower payers automatically fall back to queued retry with alerts so you never miss a verification.
Which payers do you support?
We support 3,500+ payers including all national carriers, regional plans, and TPAs. We route via 270/271 EDI or FHIR based on each payer's capabilities.
Do you support batch pre-visit checks?
Yes! Our system pulls from your schedule to run verifications at T-72h, T-24h, and day-of with delta highlights showing any coverage changes.
Can you parse complex plan details?
Our ML models normalize 271 responses to extract copays, coinsurance, deductibles, visit caps, PCP requirements, and referral needs in human-readable format.
Will this work with my EHR/PMS?
Very likely! We have native connectors for Epic, Cerner, athenahealth, eClinicalWorks, NextGen, and more. We also support webhooks, APIs, and flat-file bridges.
