Highlights

Annual Benefit Resets Feature

  • On average, 7 out of 10 insurance policies reset at the end of December, which means coverage details shift overnight. Nirvana helps you avoid the frustration of surprise denials and patient confusion by automatically verifying benefits leading up to this reset period with our Annual Benefit Reset feature. Contact your CSM today to ensure you are set up to utilize this game-changing feature.
Nirvana's Annual Benefit Reset dashboard shows total policies resetting, broken down by major payer, with detailed plan data and workflow recommendations.

Improvements

Fewer Errors, Smarter Eligibility Checks: We’ve made several behind-the-scenes upgrades to improve reliability and reduce failures, including:

  • Smarter Retry Logic
    • The system now identifies what went wrong in a request–and makes a second attempt behind the scenes with alternative permutations.
      • Dan Adams isn’t pulling back a result? We’ll try Daniel Adams as well to ensure we’re surfacing correct information as often as possible.

Why it Matters:
You’ll continue to see slightly higher success rates and fewer errors in OneVerify and the API, especially with payers that are sensitive to minor demographic mismatches.

And Remember...

  • We Have Smart Third Party Administrator (TPA) Detection
    • We now distinguish between payers (who handle claims end-to-end) and utilization managers (who manage eligibility only), improving how claims and checks are routed to reduce confusion and denials.
  • New Plan Type Identification
    • We’ve improved how we categorize health plans. Available today: Dual and Marketplace plan types. Reach out to your CSM to turn the feature on.
