What is Assignment of Benefits ?
An assignment of benefits is a legal contract used to transfer the rights to benefits under a health care plan from the insured to the health care provider. If there is an assignment of benefits, the health plan will pay its portion of the fee (the benefits) directly to the provider. It eliminates the need for the insured to pay the provider in full and then seek reimbursement of the allowed amount under the policy.
This agreement is signed by the patient as a request to pay the designated amount to the health care provider for the health benefits he/sh ..read more

What is claims processing?
Claims processing is an intricate workflow involving 20+ checkpoints that every claim must go through before it’s approved. If a claim makes it through all these checkpoints without issues, the insurance company approves it and processes any insurance payments. If it doesn’t, it gets denied or sent back for more information.

Claims rejections occur when the clearinghouse or the payer stop a claim from entering their processing system. This is typically due to missing, incomplete, outdated, or incorrect information included in the claim. When claims fail to enter the payer’s processing system, providers do not receive an explanation of benefits or remittance advice for the rejection. Depending on the processor, providers may or may not receive a rejection notice from the clearinghouse or other electronic system.
When the statuses of claims go unmonitored, rejections can pose an especially problematic effect for pr ..read more
