Insurance Verification

Real-time eligibility before the patient walks in

Insurance verification delays are one of the biggest bottlenecks in practice operations. This playbook combines digital intake with automated eligibility checks: patients upload card photos and enter member ID and carrier details, Formisoft creates the patient record, then a flow runs a real-time verification against the payer. Billing sees verified or failed status on the chart, and gets emailed automatically when someone needs a manual review.

Automated eligibility checks require Autopilot, 250 verifications/month included, then $0.20 each. Card capture and intake work on all plans.

What happens end to end

5 steps from first patient touch to staff handoff, what patients see, and what happens without another round of phone calls.

Step 1

Insurance form is sent to the patient

A focused insurance verification form is sent via email or shared as a link. It collects only the fields your billing team needs.

Automated emails · Magic-link access

Step 2

Patient uploads insurance card photos

Front and back of the insurance card are captured as photo uploads. Member ID, group number, and carrier are collected as text fields.

File uploads · Photo capture · Custom fields

Step 3

Patient record is auto-created

Formisoft creates a patient record with all insurance information and card images attached. No manual data entry required.

Auto patient creation · Document linking

Step 4

Flow verifies coverage automatically

The Insurance Verification playbook runs a real-time eligibility check using your practice NPI. Active coverage, plan name, and copay details write back to the patient chart.

Step 5

Staff alerted only when needed

If verification fails, billing gets an email and the patient can be tagged for follow-up. Verified patients continue through pre-visit intake without manual portal checks.
