What is the ROI of having Voksha collect insurance details instead of staff gathering them manually?

Avi NashVP of Growth

For Mental Health Practices

Manual mental health insurance verification can take a long time per new client, calling the carrier, navigating an automated phone tree, waiting on hold, and confirming copay, deductible status, session limits, and whether prior authorization is required, since mental health benefits are frequently structured differently from general medical benefits under the same plan. For a practice onboarding several new clients a month, that adds up to hours of staff or clinician time, and if the therapist is doing it themselves between sessions, which is a common reality in solo practice, it can cost clinical session slots. Voksha does not check benefits with the carrier itself; what it does is collect the carrier, member ID, group number, and any prior authorization details during the intake call, so the verification call starts complete instead of with a callback to the client to gather the basics. Staff still make the carrier call, but with everything in hand and without phone tag first. Beyond direct labor savings, faster and more accurate verification reduces a second cost that is easy to overlook: clients who show up for a first session, learn their actual copay or that their plan does not cover the visit type, and cancel or no-show as a result, losing that session slot's revenue entirely. Having the details in hand from the booking call, so staff can verify before the first appointment, converts that uncertainty into a known cost the client agrees to upfront, protecting both the appointment and the client relationship.
