iCoreVerify Understanding the Real Time Benefits Check (RTBC)

Every morning iCoreVerify automatically attempts to retrieve a verification of insurance for all patients scheduled over the next seven calendar days. The Real Time Benefits Check (RTBC) will run with the Patient’s Information, and the Payor/Insurance information that has been entered in your practice management software. In order for the RTBC to run successfully all of this information must be valid and entered in the correct fields.

In the Benefits Check Column, you will see color-coded icons that will provide more information if the Benefits Check was successful or if more information is needed to complete the benefits check.

A Closer Look at the Icons

  • Report Icons: Indicate the status of Real Time Benefits Check.
  • ID Card: Represents the Patient’s demographic information.
  • Insurance Card: Represents the Patient’s insurance information.

Icon Colors and Their Meanings

iCoreVerify will run the RTBC every day for the next 7 days of appointments. The system runs at 12:00 AM as well as every 2 hours during the day.

iCoreVerify will attempt to sync any updates from the practice management software every 30 minutes on the hour after the initial sync. Yellow icons indicate missing or invalid information.
