Payers is where you manage the insurance providers your practice works with. Keep payer details organized and use real-time eligibility checks to verify coverage before appointments.
Insurance payers and eligibility are available on Solo and above (US Stedi integration).

- Open Payers.
- Click Add Payer.
- Fill in:
- Name of the insurance company.

Eligibility checks
Verify a client's coverage in real time before their appointment:
- Open the client's profile and go to the Insurance tab.
- Click Check Eligibility.
- Stillpoint queries the payer and returns coverage status, plan details, copay, deductible, and any service-specific limits when the payer responds with that data.
Eligibility results are stored on the client profile so you can refer back to the most recent check.
Tips
- Run eligibility checks before first appointments. It's the cheapest way to avoid billing surprises.
- Keep payer contact info current so claim follow-up is fast.
- Note payer-specific documentation requirements on the payer record so they're visible at claim time.
