Insurance and payment

Pre-admission Verification of Benefits (VOB) documentation should include: specific plan product and network status, deductible status at time of admission, coinsurance rate applicable, prior authorization status and turnaround, and out-of-pocket accumulation. Under MHPAEA 2024 disclosure rules, plan-specific medical-necessity criteria must be available on request.
