Benefit verification
In 2026, the results of routine checks on patients’ Medicare eligibility have become unpredictable due to a sweeping set of security reforms from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). CMS moved to tighten security across the program following a data breach that exposed the personal information of millions of beneficiaries and compounded years...
When people talk about the cost of GLP-1 medications, the conversation usually centers on the drugs themselves. Our latest analysis suggests something different: what patients pay often depends less on the medication than on the label attached to it. By analyzing more than 165,000 insurance verification transactions processed on the Infinitus platform in 2026, we...

When the ball drops on New Year’s Eve, most people are counting down to a fresh start. But for many patients, that countdown comes with a different kind of anxiety: whether their insurance will still cover the medication they depend on come Jan. 1. Each new year brings plan resets, coverage shifts, and formulary updates...
Technology has transformed how we engage and transact with businesses, yet while many industries have modernized, healthcare remains slow to embrace change. In fact, many healthcare entities still rely on fax machines and phone calls between providers, patients, and payors to relay information and coordinate care. This manual coordination is one of the main culprits...

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...

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....

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...
Healthcare professionals generally gravitate to the field because they genuinely want to help people. In my experience, from senior clinicians to researchers to administrative staff, everyone’s goal is to ensure patients get the right treatment as quickly as possible. One thing not on their career plan? Spending hours on the phone trying to complete benefit...
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...
