Gravity Estimate

Coverage and the patient’s share are known before the exam.

Coverage verified before the patient arrives, without calling the payer or logging into a portal.

Walkthrough: from new order to the patient's share collected1:33

Trusted by more than 460 imaging centers across the US.

Before the exam

Eligibility verification and patient estimate software for imaging

Every completed exam gets paid, because coverage, authorization and estimates are settled before the exam.

Eligibility and benefits checks

Coverage is verified before the patient arrives, without calling the payer or logging into a portal.

Checks coverage automatically, one order at a time or in bulk, and shows copay, coinsurance, deductible and out-of-pocket remaining by network tier.

Accurate estimates with AI benefit picks

Accurate patient responsibility in one click, even when the payer sends dozens of competing benefit lines.

Builds the patient’s estimate from the benefits response, with AI choosing the benefit line that fits each exam’s service type and network.

ABN for Medicare and PECOS enrollment check

The ABN is flagged before the visit and a referring provider not enrolled in PECOS is caught before the claim, so the signature is captured at check-in.

Flags exams that need an Advance Beneficiary Notice, from code and payer rules or by hand, and referring providers not enrolled in PECOS; the ABN appears for signature at check-in.

Estimates in Gravity Visit and by text

Patients know what they owe before they arrive, straight from a text message.

Sends the estimate to the patient’s phone as a link to a page with their benefits and estimated cost, with no login needed.

Also on the estimate

Coordination of benefits

Takes primary and secondary coverage into the estimate, or primary only, and lets exams in one visit use different insurance.

HMO and IPA plan detection

Recognizes HMO plans and shows the IPA and primary care provider, so staff know when a referral applies.

Coverage and demographic warnings

Warns when the payer reports another primary plan, supplemental or dental-only coverage, missing dates, or a name, birth date or sex mismatch.

Fee schedules and payer contracts

Contracted rates per payer, added one by one or in bulk and linked to insurance contracts so allowed amounts are priced correctly.

Self-pay rates

Shows the cash price for each exam and the self-pay total next to the insured estimate, and estimates for uninsured patients.

Configurable estimate rules

Per-practice rules for rounding, codes to skip, $0 screening exams within an interval, and financial consent wording.

Estimate history and safeguards

Keeps each estimate’s full history and warns before a change that would reset benefits or an estimate.

Estimate statuses and human review

Sends an estimate to human review when setup is missing, such as an unlinked fee schedule, and says what to fix.

Payer and EDI mappings

Maps each insurance to its electronic payer so eligibility checks run, with a tool for reviewing proposed mappings.

Manual coverage status update

Staff record a coverage status and benefits they verified themselves when the payer’s response is incomplete.

In the Flow Store

Flows that settle coverage before the exam

Each flow is one task your team did by hand, now run by Gravity. Install it from the Flow Store and it runs the same day.

Gravity does it

A flow, in its mode

The flows below: eligibility, estimates and the PECOS check run on their own.

The patient does it

Through Gravity Visit

The patient opens the estimate and pays from their phone. No mode: the patient acts, not Gravity.

Your team does it

Only the exceptions

What a flow can’t finish lands on a worklist in Gravity Work, with the history attached.

Automated

An event or a schedule starts it, and fixed rules do it. Nothing to decide, so nothing to review.

Agentic

An agent reads, decides and does the work. Where a flow has a review setting, you choose: Review first. Let it finish when you’re ready.

Questions

Questions about eligibility verification and patient estimates

What is Gravity Estimate?

Gravity Estimate knows the patient’s coverage and their share before the exam. Eligibility and benefits are checked on their own, electronically or on the payer’s portal; AI picks the right benefit line so the estimate is accurate in one click; and the estimate reaches the patient’s phone before they arrive.

What happens to my team?

Gravity takes over the tasks, not the people. The routine work completes on its own, so your team can give patients the attention the paperwork used to take.

Can Gravity check eligibility for payers without electronic eligibility?

Yes. For those payers, Gravity checks eligibility on the payer’s portal through the browser extension, one order at a time or in bulk. Eligibility checks on payer portals, for payers without electronic eligibility, are a professional-services offering.

Does Gravity handle the ABN for Medicare patients?

Yes. Exams that need an Advance Beneficiary Notice are flagged from code and payer rules or by hand, and the referring provider on every Medicare order is checked against federal enrollment data, so one not enrolled in PECOS is caught before the claim. The ABN appears for signature at check-in.

What about patients with two insurances, or none?

Coordination of benefits takes primary and secondary coverage into the estimate, or primary only, and exams in one visit can use different insurance. Gravity also finds a secondary insurance that isn’t attached to the order, on its own. For uninsured patients, it estimates from your self-pay rates.
