Overview
Welcome to the Bridge documentation! Here you’ll find information to get started, our API Reference, and example use-cases.
Our technology is central to making this easy for any organization to quickly get started with accepting insurance. Typical integrations involve the following Bridge capabilities:
- Soft Eligibility: Check if providers within your organization are enrolled with the patient’s insurance carrier and licensed to practice in the patient’s state, establishing initial patient eligibility.
- Hard Eligibility: Verify that the patient has active insurance coverage and that it covers the type of service that will be rendered by your organization, ensuring full eligibility.
- Cost Estimates: Provide patients with an estimated cost breakdown, including copays, coinsurance, and deductible status, enhancing transparency during the signup process.
- Provider Booking: Identify providers eligible to treat the patient, based on insurance enrollment and licensure, easily integrating with your scheduling system to offer suitable provider options to patients.
- Billing: Transmit the information Bridge needs to bill the insurance provider for the visit and coordinate with Bridge to handle the collection of the patient’s share of the cost.
