Your Financial Health Starts Before the Claim Goes Out?

Every denial, delay, or accounts receivable backlog begins the same way — with something missed before billing.

Eligibility & benefits verification and prior authorization aren't “just admin work” — they are your first line of defense against costly denials and revenue leakage.

At Xpress Credentialing, we help practices transform pre-billing operations into a revenue protection system that keeps cash flow stable and reimbursements secure.

Why Eligibility & Prior Authorization Matter

More than 60% of medical claim denials are preventable — and most trace back to:

• Missed or incomplete eligibility checks
• Missing or expired prior authorizations
• Outdated credentialing or network data

Every denial costs your practice time, energy, and money — often without recovery.

That's why strong pre-billing discipline isn't just good practice; it's good business.

The Strong Pre-Billing Workflow

A powerful pre-billing system includes:

• Eligibility & Benefit Verification Confirm insurance status, deductible, and coverage before the visit.
• Prior Authorization Management Secure approvals and track renewals for every high-cost or elective service.
• Clean Claim Preparation Scrub for coding, NPI, and modifier accuracy before submission.
• Credentialing Maintenance Ensure provider enrollment is active with every payer — no hidden denials.
• Patient Communication Be transparent about coverage, costs, and authorizations up front.

Together, these steps can reduce denials by 50-70% and improve reimbursement turnaround times dramatically.

Why a Strong Billing Team Matters?

Your billing and credentialing teams aren't back-office functions — they are your revenue defense squad.

A seasoned team:

• Spots missing prior auths before the claim goes out
• Verifies patient eligibility in real time
• Tracks payer rules and updates
• Monitors clean claim rates, AR days, and denial reasons
• This is the foundation of a resilient, revenue-positive practice.
