Patient Eligibility File
Have you seen the new patient eligibility feature built into our billing platform?! This new tool allows providers to verify if the member’s insurance is active, check the spelling of their name, date of birth, gender and other demographics to assist in making the patient-provider experience more seamless. This is a great tool to determine if the patient is eligible for service coverage as well as other details regarding their plan. We hope that you will enjoy this as much as we do!
*This is not a substitute for verifying eligibility and benefits with the members plan
Integra Forms and Videos At Your Fingertips
Integra has been hard at work creating new ways for providers to access documents and training materials. With that, we have added a Forms and Videos section under the Resources tab on our website(www.repo.repo.repo.accessintegra.com). When accessing the site, you may utilize your billing system username and password to login.
This page will be continuously updated with new forms and other training materials to assist our providers in their day to day activities.
Contract Amendment: Non-NY Providers/Health Plans
As Integra Partners continues to expand we want to ensure that we are providing you with the greatest access to service the covered lives within our plans.

Please be on the look out for this agreement over the next several weeks and once received, please sign and return accordingly.
