Seemed like the perfect system, and the app would even let me know if I was due for an annual eye or dental exam, eliminating the need for a paper calendar (though haven’t those become obsolete in our digital era now anyways)? I had been using Zocdoc for myself and family quite frequently due to the convenience factor, ease of scheduling, ability to seamlessly schedule and receive appointment reminders, and input insurance information easily.īest of all, there are usually options to save on time and paper waste by inputing all of the new patient information you’d traditionally fill out in person prior to your appointment electronically using the app itself. Click here to confirm which insurances you’re currently accepting.While we typically do not think about apps and services like GrubHub, Seamless, or Zocdoc from merchant perspectives (after all, the majority of us are on the consumer end and users of these services due to the convenience factors), we often fail to realize how much these fees add up for annually for participants, meaning restaurant owners and physicians.

Subject to the above, your practice is able to receive in-network bookings from beneficiaries of federal healthcare programs if you have these programs on your list of accepted insurances on Zocdoc. Once your practice has transitioned to the new pricing model, all new patient bookings will incur the same booking fee, regardless of payor. As a result, Zocdoc’s platform will continue to serve Medicaid beneficiaries in the District under our new pricing model. We carefully reviewed the regulatory landscape of the District and received supportive guidance from top officials who oversee the District’s Medicaid program. Regarding Medicaid, some states have their own state-specific laws, which may impact our offering for those beneficiaries.

Thanks to this favorable opinion, we will continue to serve Medicare and Tricare beneficiaries nationwide. This allows us to continue to serve federally funded beneficiaries in states where our new model will be implemented. Zocdoc was thrilled to receive a favorable advisory opinion from the federal government (the HHS OIG) regarding our new pricing model’s compliance with the federal Anti-Kickback Statute learn more here.
