ADMITSCAN

AdmitScan is the definitive and affordable solution to “surprise billing” which is responsible for the loss of billions of hospital, insurer and healthcare consumer dollars annually.  Surprise billing occurs when a patient presents to a hospital emergency room or admitting department for healthcare and patient, hospital and physician are unaware the patient’s insurance is out-of-network. Currently there is often a delay of 24 to over 72 hours in identifying the network status of the insured due to the reliance on registration workforce with manual phone calls or difficult to navigate insurer websites in order to verify insurance and networks. 

Med-Rok Systems examined outside industry’s solution to quickly verifying membership status with the fitness industry and credit card companies.  Fitness facilities utilize scannable bar codes which confirm, in a fraction of a second, if the gym-goer is a member and if their gym contract is active.  AdmitScan utilizes member bar codes which are interfaced with the patient/member’s insurer which, when scanned in any hospital, emergency room, urgent care or physician office on AdmitScan’s VPN protected website, will immediately identify that provider as in-network or out-of-network. 

The scan also notifies the insurer and the patient’s primary care physician of their member’s emergency room visits and/or hospitalizations and discharges in real-time.  This provides the primary care physician with the information he/she needs to quickly provide interventions/revise the patient’s treatment plan and/or order Telehealth consults in order to avoid further unnecessary ER use or hospitalizations.

Once a scan reveals the patient’s insurance is out-of-network, AdmitScan provides a list of the insurer’s area network hospitals at which time the hospital can electronically place a request for a network bed and physician and order a contracted ambulance transfer of the patient. 

AdmitScan can also be used to transfer patients to other hospitals for higher levels of care.  The use of AdmitScan significantly reduces registration workforce requirements, immediately identifies out-of-network status and efficiently returns the patient back to cost-effective network care.
