Why couldn’t Thrizer link to my health plan?

Why couldn’t Thrizer link to my health plan?

In most cases, Thrizer is able to link to your health plan and show an instant estimate of your out-of-network benefits.

When this does not work, it does not mean you do not have out-of-network coverage. It usually means your insurance plan was unable to return complete information in real time.

Below are the most common reasons this can happen, listed in order of how often we see them.

The most common reasons

Incorrect or mismatched information

This is the most common reason a plan cannot be linked.

Even small differences can prevent an insurance plan from finding your coverage, such as:

If any of this information does not exactly match your insurance records, the plan may not return a result.

Incomplete response from the insurance plan

Sometimes a plan responds, but does not provide enough information to calculate your benefits.

For example, the plan may leave out:

When this happens, Thrizer cannot safely estimate your out-of-pocket costs without additional verification.

The plan does not support real-time benefit checks

Some insurance plans are unable to return eligibility and benefit details in real time.

In these cases, the plan may:

This is a limitation of the insurance plan, not your coverage.

The plan requires a phone call for full verification

Some insurance plans require benefits to be verified by phone, especially for out-of-network mental health services.

When this is required, an instant online check is not possible.

Less common reasons

Your coverage is new or recently changed

If you recently:

Your plan information may not yet be available across all insurance systems.

Mental health benefits are handled separately

Some plans manage mental health benefits through a separate administrator.

In these cases, the plan may return medical coverage information but not behavioral health benefits in the same response.

Your plan does not provide digital out-of-network benefit details

A small number of plans allow out-of-network claims but do not make out-of-network benefit details available through online systems.

When this happens, automated benefit checks are limited.

What happens next

If Thrizer cannot link to your plan automatically, this does not stop you from using Thrizer.

Thrizer may need to verify your benefits manually or confirm details directly with your insurance plan before providing an estimate.

Important note

Insurance benefit checks are based on information provided by your health plan. Final reimbursement amounts are always determined by the insurance carrier after claims are processed.
