I want to outsource insurance verification, but the company we used before was horrible and got everything wrong. Are there any good options of 3rd party insurance verification companies that you have used? What company are you using? I will have something soon for you to check out. I'll show you over some beers. If you use Weave, they have an eligibility function that has been very good. Also Pearl's PreCheck is excellent. Status works for us.
