Halifax Health Speeds Accurate Registration and Eligibility Verification

Learn how the hospital used Clearance Patient Access Suite to streamline front-end processes and accelerate eligibility verification, improve registration accuracy, and increase patient payment collection

“Sometimes patients don't know that they have insurance, or they're unsure of what coverage that they have. The Clearance Patient Access Suite allows us to verify the benefits almost immediately and gain a clear picture of what a patient’s financial liability is going to be.” 

Angela Bolte,
Patient Access Manager
Halifax Health Medical Center

Overcoming the Challenges of a Transient Patient Population

Because many of Halifax Health’s patients come from out of state, the hospital wanted to increase the speed and reliability of registration and eligibility verification to financially clear patients faster and collect payment upfront.
