Pager Delivers Medical House Calls, Now with Insurance Eligibility Services Fueled by PokitDok
Pager announced today that it will incorporate PokitDok into its care navigation platform that connects patients to the right care type in the most cost effective setting. Pager’s board-certified doctors, registered nurses, physician assistants, and nurse practitioners can treat a variety of urgent care needs via telemedicine or in-home visit, or refer the patient to a specialist. Pager will incorporate PokitDok’s Eligibility solution to verify insurance, check co-insurance, copay, and deductible amounts on behalf of patients looking to apply benefits to their medical visit.
“We are impressed with PokitDok’s payer integration strategy,” said Sameer Khanna, VP of Engineering, Pager. “PokitDok gives us a single solution to accept insurance across a diverse set of patients in a variety of markets. Their team and helpful documentation made the deployment process seamless.”
