FAQ

Verification of Benefits — Common Questions

How quickly can you turn around a VOB? +

Our standard turnaround is under 3 hours. We move fast so your admissions team never has to wait on a benefit check to make a placement decision.

Which insurance carriers do you work with? +

We work with all major commercial insurers including BCBS, Aetna, Cigna, UnitedHealth, Humana, Magellan, Beacon, and most regional and state-specific plans. We also handle Medicaid and Medicare where applicable for behavioral health services.

Does a VOB guarantee payment? +

No — and any billing company that claims otherwise is misleading you. A VOB confirms benefits at a point in time. We document our VOBs thoroughly and include reference numbers to support your position if a payer later disputes coverage, but final payment depends on continued authorization and claim adjudication.

Can you handle high-volume VOBs for large facilities? +

Absolutely. Our team is scalable and handles high-volume intake environments. We work with facilities processing 10 to 200+ admissions per month.
