Billing Tip Tuesday!

It’s a New Year, this means New Benefits!

2026 is here and it’s time to re-verify Eligibility and Benefits. Most of your patients’ plans run on a calendar year, this means, everything resets on January 1st. If their deductible of $5k was met on 12/31/2025, they now have to meet it again.

Most non-routine covered services will apply towards the deductible, patients will be responsible for the allowable amount for these services before their insurance starts paying. Be sure to collect upfront to avoid a major decline to your cash flow.

A few tips to help your practice and your patients:

✅Re-Verify benefits for recurring patients
✅Verify benefits before each visit for all pts
✅Provide a Good Faith Estimate if OON
✅Offer flexible payment options (cash/credit)
✅Offer payment plan with card on file
✅Communicate and collect what's due upfront
