A benefits check in Quick VOB

A made-up caller, a sample insurance card, and demo insurance: from the card photo to the authorization. 8 steps.

  1. Quick VOB on a phone: this week's checks and the list of made-up people checkedNew check (next step)

    Step 1 of 8

    Every check, on your phone

    Quick VOB keeps every benefits check, newest first, with who's active and which authorizations end soon.

  2. A new check on a phone: the card photo and the details read from itAdd the birth date (next step)

    Step 2 of 8

    Snap the insurance card

    Take a photo of the card. The name, insurance company, payer ID and member ID fill in. Check them and add the birth date.

  3. The benefits result on a phone: active coverage and the bottom line for the made-up member

    Step 3 of 8

    The answer, in about a minute

    Active or not, the plan dates, and the bottom line in plain words. A carve-out, like substance use handled by another company, is flagged with its check one tap away.

  4. Benefit tiles for the made-up member above the levels of care grid: coverage and auth for detox, residential, PHP, IOP and OP

    Step 4 of 8

    The money and every level of care

    Deductible and out-of-pocket left, coinsurance, copay and prior auth. Below, detox, residential, PHP, IOP and OP side by side: covered or not, auth needed or not, cost and day limits.

    Step 5 of 8

    Log the call

    Payers rarely send level-of-care details electronically. Log what the rep said for each level, with their name and reference number. It saves as you type.
