A patient has to give the insurance information which usually includes a card that has all the necessary information on the card. And then the hospital or doctor’s office will either use some sort of online portal that gives them the ability to check whether that information is accurate, or they’ll call the insurance company directly to verify using a special number that is only for that purpose.
