CareVoyant Intake and Admission functions enable Assisted Living Facilities to establish a single patient record for one or multiple lines of service and for multiple episodes of care.

The consolidation of all patient information – including demographic, insurance, personal/professional contacts, diagnosis, clinical and billing – that is collected at admission and throughout the length of care eliminates redundant data entry as the patient moves through the delivery of care under one program or across multiple lines of service.
Using our Revenue Cycle Management Partners, you can check patient eligibility in real-time or in a batch mode for multiple patients directly from CareVoyant. Checking eligibility at admission without leaving CareVoyant will streamline your intake process.
