What These Numbers Mean for Your Team
The 70% automatability figure means roughly 7 out of 10 tasks in Insurance Verification/Patient Access can be handled by software without human intervention. That makes sense: checking eligibility, pulling payer data, matching patient records, and populating registration fields are repetitive, rule-based processes — exactly what systems already built for this role (registration, scheduling, and verification platforms) are designed to do.
What stays human is meaningful. The remaining 30% involves situations where the rules break down: a patient whose coverage is unclear, a family navigating a frightening diagnosis while trying to understand their benefits, an edge case where two systems disagree. Staff handle the emotional weight, the exceptions, and the judgment calls that software cannot reliably make.
The salary range ($32K–$42K) reflects roles already doing significant manual data work. Automation doesn't eliminate the role — it shifts it toward harder, higher-stakes interactions that genuinely require a person.
