Reverification season – known as “Blizzard” by many in the industry – may officially last only a handful of weeks, but healthcare organizations start preparing for it months in advance. The reason? An enormous administrative workload that demands intense planning and resources.  At Infinitus, this is the busiest time of year for our voice AI...

In September, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) announced a change that many initially missed: Medicare Administrative Contractors (MACs) will remove beneficiary eligibility information from their interactive voice response (IVR) systems by March 31, 2025. Some have already begun to do so. With this change, CMS aims to improve security, reduce fraud, and...

Helping patients access therapy as efficiently as possible is critical to improving outcomes.

Today, more than 34.2 million Americans are enrolled in original Medicare plans.

With our new...

Since Change Healthcare abruptly shut down its network Feb. 21, disruptions across the healthcare landscape have been far reaching. One unforeseen result has been a backlog of calls to payors and pharmacies, making it even harder for providers to get access to live agents on the phone. In an analysis of calls made by the...

Increasingly employer-sponsored plans are including copay accumulators, copay maximizers, or alternative funding sources as part of their plan design. In fact, estimates suggest about half of all lives covered by commercial insurance are enrolled in a plan that utilizes a copay accumulator and/or a maximizer.  If your team is responsible for guiding individuals through coverage...

Technically, the annual insurance reverification period (often known as blizzard) lasts just a handful of weeks. However, reality tells a different story. We know our customers spend months preparing for each January, when patients’ access to medication can be put into question because of changes to formularies, deductibles, and out-of-pocket requirements.  With this year’s blizzard...

It’s just a phone call. What could be so complicated? At first consideration, conducting – and even automating – phone calls to major medical payors and pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs) to perform benefit verifications doesn’t seem as if it should be all that complex. After all, these calls are extremely common, extremely frequent, and entirely necessary....

At Infinitus, we spend a lot of time talking about the advantages of benefit verification automation. AI can transform healthcare’s back-office administrative processes, helping create time for the industry to improve access, adherence, and affordability – something we’re committed to as an organization. But why is benefit verification, specifically, a strong fit for automation?  Read...

Benefit verification is one of the first steps after a patient schedules an appointment or is prescribed medication, but that doesn’t mean it’s a quick, easy, or inexpensive task. In fact, studies show that up to a quarter of total national healthcare costs can be chalked up to administrative expenses like benefit verification. Despite attempts...

We’re often asked whether the Infinitus digital assistant uses ChatGPT, or on a more general level, whether ChatGPT can automate calls from healthcare providers to payors like Infinitus does. After all, based on the media coverage OpenAI’s chatbot has received, it almost seems as if there’s nothing ChatGPT can’t do.  It’s worth noting that ChatGPT...

To date, Infinitus automates calls on behalf of healthcare providers to more than 1400 payors. Those calls are faster and result in more accurate data for our customers, but we’re still often asked: Why do payors take calls from the Infinitus digital assistant? As it is for healthcare providers, digital transformation is a top priority...

A wrongly denied insurance claim is a double-whammy. First, and most importantly, it can cause a delay in a patient’s treatment (and as a result, delayed revenue for the provider). But it also results in increased costs associated with re-submitting a claim. And unfortunately, benefit verification errors, which lead to such denials, aren’t uncommon. Those...

The new year is a time of hope and renewal, of setting goals and refocusing on the big picture. But it is also a time of uncertainty when it comes to health insurance; with the new year comes changes in health insurance coverage, cost share, and authorization requirements. This annual cycle creates uncertainty for patients about...
