Electronic notifications, often managed through secure platforms, deliver Explanation of Benefits (EOB) information from insurance providers. These notifications inform recipients when an EOB is available for viewing, typically through a secure online portal. As an example, a beneficiary might receive an immediate alert following a doctor’s visit, signaling the readiness of their EOB statement.
The value of these automated messages lies in their efficiency and security. They replace the need for paper-based communication, which can be slow and potentially insecure. They also provide immediate notification, allowing users to promptly review their healthcare claims and identify any discrepancies or potential fraud. Historically, patients relied on postal mail for this information, leading to delays and increased administrative costs for insurance providers.
