The Problem

Verification eats 10–20 minutes per new client

Calling payors, navigating IVRs, and verifying benefits across BCBS, Aetna, Cigna, UnitedHealthcare, Optum, Humana, Kaiser, Medicare, Medicaid, and EAP networks takes 10–20 minutes per new client — done manually between sessions.

Clinician burnout, slower intake, lost revenue per hour

Verification errors lead to denials and surprise bills

Mistakes in verification — wrong network status, wrong copay, wrong deductible, missing prior-auth — lead to denied claims and surprise bills. Clients churn after one billing surprise.

AR aging, client churn, refunded sessions

EAP allotments are tracked manually and inconsistently

EAP networks (Spring Health, Lyra, Modern Health, Magellan) each have different allotment structures — 6 sessions, 8 sessions, 12 sessions — and tracking remaining allotment per client is rarely automated.

Overbilled EAP claims, allotment-exhaustion surprises

Good Faith Estimates are skipped or delivered late

The No Surprises Act requires a Good Faith Estimate for self-pay and out-of-network clients — but most practices skip it or deliver it late, exposing them to compliance risk.

Compliance exposure, audit risk, client complaints
