Why it matters
Verification checklists tend to list fields rather than decisions. The useful version is ordered by what changes your action: coverage active, then patient responsibility, then requirements that block the visit.

Insurance Verification Checklist
What to confirm before the visit, in the order that matters.
What to confirm before the visit, in the order that matters.
Verification checklists tend to list fields rather than decisions. The useful version is ordered by what changes your action: coverage active, then patient responsibility, then requirements that block the visit.
The checklist
Written to be used and adapted. Take it, change the parts that do not fit your practice, and put a name against each line.
- Coverage active on the date of service
- Plan type and network status
- Copay, deductible remaining, coinsurance
- Referral or PCP requirement
- Prior authorisation requirement for the planned service
- Secondary coverage and coordination of benefits
What is worth automating
This is the checklist most worth automating — it is high volume, rule-driven, and its failures are expensive.
Rollout checklist
- Assign an owner to each line.
- Decide where this document lives so it is findable.
- Review it on a set cadence rather than after a failure.
- Train new staff against it rather than by shadowing alone.
