You get coverage across 1,800+ payers, including Medicare and Medicaid, from one login. Most eligibility checks return in seconds.

The Essentials plan covers 5 users and 2 facilities and starts at $299 per month, plus a $250 one-time setup fee.

How VerifyTreatment Helps Small Practices Streamline Insurance Verification

You enter a patient's details once and get eligibility and benefits back. VerifyTreatment gives you coverage across 1,800+ payers, including Medicare and Medicaid. It has 30,000+ active users.

Here's how it works for a small team, including what it costs.

Full Benefit Details on Every Check

A simple active or inactive check stops at plan status. Each VerifyTreatment check gives you deductible and out-of-pocket amounts (met and remaining), co-insurance percentages, co-pays, and plan name in seconds.

Behavioral health benefits differ by plan, and some plans carve them out to a separate administrator. When VerifyTreatment detects a carve-out, you rerun the check under the correct payer in one click. For the most complex carve-outs, you may still need to call the payer.

Read every result with a few exceptions in mind. Dependent and subscriber mismatches, coverage dates, network status, and prior authorization can all change what a result means. A verification is a snapshot of coverage at that moment. It does not guarantee payment.

Batch Verification Catches Lapsed Policies Automatically

Batch verification flags lapsed policies and other coverage changes before claims go out. To set it up, upload a CSV of your patients and tag the active ones. Set a schedule, such as weekly or monthly, and the runs repeat on their own. You can also run a batch on demand.

Most batches finish the same day and each run compares results to the last one. You get an email with alerts for coverage changes. Review the alerts, and update the patient's record before the claim goes out.

Insurance Discovery for Incomplete Patient Data

Coverage discovery helps when a patient arrives without an insurance card. It uses the demographics you have, such as a name and date of birth, to return a primary payer and member ID. You then run a verification with those details, so your team can start on the first call.

Discovery finds primary and secondary coverage. Essentials includes 12 discovery credits a month, and extra credits cost $3 each.

Pricing that Fits a Small Practice Budget

The Essentials plan costs $299 per month, plus a $250 one-time setup fee. You get 120 verifications each month, along with 100 claim status checks. Extra verifications cost $1.50 each.

If you need more volume or people, the Professional plan costs $579 per month. It raises the cap to 300 verifications and removes Essentials' limit of 5 users and 2 facilities. You pay month to month and can cancel anytime.

Intake and Team Tools

You can verify benefits from anywhere with the mobile app. If your intake person isn't always at a desk, they can still run a check on the spot.

Web forms capture and verify insurance details from your website, which speeds up intake. They cost an extra $49 per month on both plans.

VerifyTreatment also includes messaging inside patient records. You can tag teammates and share results without leaving the platform.

Customer Results

Foundations Recovery Network was losing one in ten patients to slow insurance answers. After adopting VerifyTreatment, it reported eliminating admissions delays and recovering over $10,000 a month in lost revenue.

FAQs

What does an insurance provider portal do?

An insurance provider portal lets you check a patient's eligibility and benefits from one system. You skip logging into each payer's website. VerifyTreatment returns coverage details in seconds, including whether the policy is active and what the deductible is.

What information does an insurance verification return?

VerifyTreatment returns these details on each check:

• Policy status and type
• Deductible and out-of-pocket amounts (met and remaining)
• Co-insurance percentages
• Co-pays
• Plan name
• Payer-specific coverage notes

Carriers decide what they release electronically, so some plans return less detail, especially around behavioral health carve-outs.

Does verification software replace calling the payer?

For most routine checks, it saves you the hold time. VerifyTreatment returns benefits in real time. A verification is a snapshot of coverage at that moment, and it does not guarantee payment. You may still need to call for complex carve-outs or facility-specific requirements, or when you want verbal confirmation.
