- When a patient is identified as needing to apply for insurance, the PBC will assess what the patient may be eligible to apply. If time allows, the PBC will apply online via computer or telephone to the appropriate agency. Once submitted, the PBC clerk will print out the result of the application-approved, pending, or denied and scan into the patient's health record and document accordingly in RPMS. This insurance verification process will be reviewed prior to the patient's outside referral going to PRC Committee.
- The PBC will identify a person who has no insurance and may be eligible for alternate resources by utilizing screening and interviewing methods effectively. Works closely with all facility staff in the identification and utilization of all alternate resources available to the American Indian population.

Works closely with families, individuals, and agencies to ensure the patient does not encounter discrimination because of their dual role as a citizen and as an Indian Health Care recipient.
- If the patient has Medicare, Medicaid, Private Insurance or any other type of insurance coverage, the PBC will ask for the patient's card. The patient's card will be copied and scanned into the patient's Electronic Health Record. PBC will verify the insurance card: The account number, effective date, term, and ending dates, if any, before a referral for an outside provider goes to PRC Committee for approval. The patient shall be informed that not having the copy of the card in their chart can cause a delay in the referral process.
- If a patient does not comply and provide the facility with a copy of their Medicare, Medicaid or Private Insurance card, the patient will sign a waiver that they are willingly non-compliant with the rules and regulations of the facility and will be responsible for the cost of their visit.
- The PBC bi-weekly schedule will allow for one day only to schedule all out of office transports. This will allow the patients with no transportation to follow-up with SSD face-to-face interviews on the bi-weekly schedule. PBC will enter every transport in the patient health record.
