First, let’s dive in:

What is a verification of benefits (VOB)?

A verification of benefits (VOB) is a way to check if the services that you render may be covered by the patient’s insurance provider, resulting in payment from the insurance company. A VOB is important because it helps you to estimate what the patient owes and what the insurance might pay you.

Providing verification of benefits is not only valuable to your organization, it’s very valuable to your website visitors. Most Americans don’t know their coverage. Can we blame them? It’s a “buy it and forget it” type of purchase, especially because insurance benefit contain pages and pages of insurance jargon.

It can be overwhelming for many, however if you can make sense of their policy for what matters to them right now, that will provide a lot of value. It’s the bare minimum nowadays, and most importantly, your competition is verifying benefits.

The Current State

Right now, for many handling verification of benefits, it’s a painful process. 

1. A website visitor finds your website
2. They pick up the phone and call the admissions office
3. The rep may or may not answer right away — phone support is not scalable
4. Insurance is submitted for verification
5. Admission reps disengages the caller within minutes of first contact
6. 1-3 days go by — the visitor will be looking for alternatives in the meantime
7. Admission receives fully verified phone verification of benefits (VOB)
8. Call backs begin to continue admissions process

VOB is clearly a value add but as you can tell, the experience is clearly broken.

In today’s modern information age, website visitors expect instant information, instant answers, and instant verification.
