Eligibility
NEW! UHIN can access national payers for eligibility. UHIN has a new connection allowing users to send electronic, real-time eligibility requests, giving UHIN members access to an unprecedented number of payers at no additional charge. It is quick, easy, and can save your office time and money. Call your representative or the UHIN Help Desk for more information!
What is Electronic Eligibility?
Electronic eligibility allows you to send a patient’s name, date of birth, and/or insurance ID and receive coverage information back from the payer. There is no need to call and wait on hold. This service is available through the UHINt 2.5 software; some Practice Management systems may offer this as well.
Although some payers offer this service through their individual websites, being able to access these payers from a single program with one username and password combination cuts down on time and allows your office to check eligibility efficiently.
See the UHIN Eligibility Payer List for a complete listing of available payers. Note that while most payers do not require enrollment to begin, there are some who do require that step. For your convenience, a separate list is available with the payers requiring enrollment.
How to start:
Complete any required enrollment. If you already use UHINt 2.5, contact your area representative or the UHIN Help Desk for setup instructions, or follow our setup guide.
If you would like to connect to one of the payers requiring special enrollment, your area representative or the UHIN Help Desk can assist you.
