About This Automation

Insurance claims and rebate processing at optometry clinics involves manually extracting claim data, verifying eligibility, formatting submissions for each payer, and tracking status across multiple insurers.

Automation captures claim data directly from the practice management system, verifies eligibility through insurer APIs, formats claims to payer specifications, and submits electronically.

Key features:
Extract claim data automatically from the practice management system and insurance records
Verify patient insurance eligibility and coverage limits in real time via insurer connections
Reformat claims to match each payer's specific requirements and fee schedules
Submit claims electronically and track submission confirmations
Monitor claim status daily and flag denials or rejections for review
Identify rebate-eligible claims and compile documentation for submission

How The Automation Works

The full workflow, from trigger to completion.

1. Claim Data Capturedtrigger

A patient transaction is completed in the practice management system and claim data is automatically extracted, including patient demographics, procedure codes, and insurance information.

2. Verify Eligibility & Format

The automation platform checks insurance eligibility in real time via insurer APIs, maps procedure codes to the correct payer format, and applies fee schedule adjustments automatically.

3. Submit to Insurer

The formatted claim is submitted electronically to the insurer via their API or secure portal, and a submission confirmation is logged automatically.

4. Track Claim Status

The automation platform queries insurer APIs daily to check claim status and automatically flags claims that are denied, pending, or paid.

5. Identify Rebate Eligibility

The automation evaluates each claim against rebate rules stored in a database and automatically identifies claims that qualify for rebates based on product type and volume thresholds.

6. Submit Rebate Claims

Eligible rebate claims are automatically compiled with required documentation and submitted to the insurer via email or portal.

7. Reconcile Payments

When rebate or claim payments are received, the automation matches them to original claims and rebate submissions, and records the transactions in the accounting system.

8. Alert on Exceptions

The automation sends alerts to the finance team for claims that remain unpaid beyond a threshold, denials requiring manual review, or rebate deadlines approaching.
