PatientGain offers an AI based and efficient HIPAA compliant insurance check app..It can be added À la carte or a part of the PLATINUM service or SPOC (Single Point Of Conversion) app. Improve the operational efficiency of your practice and make it easy for your patients to check their insurance quickly, and safely. This app is connected to your Appointment App. Simple app to collect your patient’s insurance information using our HIPAA compliant Insurance app with ability to send notifications to patients according to their insurance coverage status.

Every month, hundreds of patients call your practice just to ask “Do you take my insurance?” PatientGain can help you with the operational efficiency of your practice.

PatientGain automates the collection, secure storage, and preliminary verification of insurance data primarily to streamline the appointment booking process. However, it is important to distinguish this from the deep “Revenue Cycle Management” (RCM) verification used by billing software.

Here is exactly how PatientGain handles automated insurance verification:

1. Automated Data & Card Collection (The “Intake” Automation)

Instead of your front desk chasing patients for card details, PatientGain’s system automates the retrieval of this data before the patient arrives.

• Secure Card Upload: The platform includes HIPAA-compliant forms that allow patients to take a photo of their insurance card (Front and Back) and upload it directly via their smartphone.
• Chatbot Data Capture: The automated chatbot can ask patients, “Do you have insurance?” and collect the Carrier Name, Member ID, and Group Number during the conversation, saving this data directly into the secure CRM (SPOC App).

2. Booking Automation

• The goal is to book appointments have have patients request appointments directly from their mobile devices (or desktops)
• Insurance app is connected to PatientGain’s over 7000 insurance plans. This “quick-check” allows your practice to start engaging with patients right from the mobile devices. And further texting with patients starts using the 2-way texting SPOC app.

3. Secure Storage (The “HIPAA” Layer)

Unlike standard email or non-compliant web forms, PatientGain stores this sensitive data in a HIPAA-Compliant Vault (hosted on Google Cloud/AWS).

• Encryption: All insurance images and ID numbers are encrypted at rest and in transit.
• Access Control: Only authorized staff with specific logins can view the full insurance card images, protecting you from internal data breaches.

How Practices Actually Use PatientGain + Insurance Verification

1. Capture insurance details before the visit
2. Reduce intake friction and phone calls
3. Ensure staff has complete info upfront
4. Push data into workflows or internal processes
5. Then verify eligibility inside their EMR or PM system

This separation is intentional and safer from a compliance standpoint.

Summary: PatientGain vs. Dedicated Billing Software

Feature	PatientGain (Marketing/Intake Focus)	Dedicated Billing Software (RCM Focus)
Primary Goal	Stop “Bad” Appointments: Ensure the patient has coverage before they book.	Get Paid: Detailed breakdown of deductibles, copays, and CPT code coverage.
Automation Level	High (Front-End): Automates collection of insurance cards and “Active/Inactive” status.	High (Back-End): Automates claim scrubbing and denial management.
Patient Experience	Frictionless: Patient self-checks insurance plan, group number and can upload securely insurance card.	Administrative: Staff enters data into complex grids.

The Bottom Line: PatientGain automates the “Front Desk” side of insurance (getting the card and checking if it’s valid). It does not replace your billing team’s need to check specific CPT code coverage for complex procedures.

What is the cost of answering a phone call from a patient?

Example : A primary care with 3 exam rooms, 2 providers, located in rural/suburban California area, outside 60 miles from the Silicon Valley. They see 20-25 patients a day. They are an established primary care. Every day 5 to 10 patients call and ask “Do you take my insurance?”. In this case the salary of the front desk is $26/hour, plus the benefits and overhead comes to $43/hour loaded cost for the front desk staff. If you are in a less expensive area, your loaded cost of the front desk staff will be little less, if you are in an expensive area, it will be higher that $43/hour loaded cost. Assuming the front desk answers 5 calls in an hour ($43 divided by 5), this means it is costing you $8.60 to answer each call. if you have a larger practice, typical costs are $6 / call. If you have smaller clinic, it could be higher as $11/call. There is another side effect, if the front-desk staff is answering phones for “Do you take my insurance?” calls, they are also ignoring potential patients who are in lobby/waiting area – or other important phone calls. Hence it makes sense for your practice to automate calls from patients related to “Do you take my insurance?”
