FAQs
Straight answers about how Omni supports patient access, prior authorization, revenue cycle, and compliance inside your existing systems.
Is Omni HIPAA compliant?
Yes. Omni holds a HIPAA certificate of compliance from an independent assessment of our safeguards. Omni runs on HIPAA compliant infrastructure, signs a Business Associate Agreement with every client, and trains every team member on HIPAA before they handle patient information. Learn more at https://omni.kloud7.com/compliance/.
Who owns our data, and how long is it kept?
Your organization owns its data, including call data, transcripts, and reports. Standard retention is 90 days, and it can be adjusted to fit your policies. When an engagement ends, data is returned or securely destroyed according to your BAA.
Is Omni SOC 2 or ISO certified?
Yes. Omni’s controls for data security and availability are independently audited under SOC 2, and Omni is certified to ISO 27001 for information security management and ISO 18295 for patient communication. We can share supporting documentation and complete your security questionnaire during review. Learn more at https://omni.kloud7.com/compliance/.
How does Omni protect patient data?
Patient data is accessed only through secure, encrypted remote environments and is never stored on team members’ devices. System access is granted by role, limited to what each person needs, and monitored throughout the engagement.
How does Omni monitor quality and compliance?
Omni Workflow Intelligence records and analyzes patient calls, giving supervisors a consistent view of quality across the team. Combined with role based access, documented workflows, and ongoing oversight, this keeps your operation audit ready and catches process gaps before they create risk.
What is Omni by Kloud7?
Omni by Kloud7 is the healthcare operations division of Kloud7. We combine trained healthcare professionals, structured workflows, and intelligent technology to help health systems and practices manage patient access, VOB (verification of benefits) / prior authorization, revenue cycle, and daily administrative work. That lets care teams focus on patients instead of paperwork.
What does a healthcare operations partner actually do?
A healthcare operations partner takes on the administrative work behind patient care, such as scheduling, VOB (verification of benefits) / prior authorization, and revenue cycle management, and runs it as an extension of your team. Omni’s teams follow your SOPs and work inside your systems, so you keep control of the work.
What services does Omni provide?
Omni provides six services: Patient Access Support, VOB (verification of benefits) / Prior Authorization, RCM and Recovery, After Hours Patient Support, Dedicated FTE Staffing, and Omni Workflow Intelligence. The same team can carry work from scheduling through VOB (verification of benefits) / authorization and billing, so fewer handoff gaps turn into lost revenue.
Who does Omni work with?
Omni works with healthcare organizations of every size, from small and mid sized practices to large health systems. That includes independent and specialty practices, growing medical groups, academic and multispecialty physician groups, and enterprise health systems. Our services are built for practice owners, patient access leaders, revenue cycle managers, operations teams, and executives who need dependable execution, and scale up or down to match your volume.
Which medical specialties does Omni support?
Omni supports all medical specialties. Examples include family medicine, pediatrics, cardiology, orthopedics, neurosurgery, ophthalmology, dermatology, gastroenterology, pulmonology, nephrology, rheumatology, and sleep medicine. Before going live, teams learn your specialty’s scheduling rules, referral paths, and VOB (verification of benefits) / authorization requirements.
How is Omni different from other healthcare support models?
Omni is an operations and technology partner, not a seat filler or a generic answering service. Our teams are trained healthcare professionals who follow your exact workflows inside your systems. Omni Workflow Intelligence records and analyzes every patient call, giving you full visibility into how the work is done.
Do Omni teams work inside our EHR?
Yes. Omni is platform agnostic and works directly inside your existing EHR, practice management, and scheduling systems, including Epic, Oracle Health (Cerner), athenahealth, eClinicalWorks, NextGen, Practice Fusion, and Charm Health. Access follows the roles and permissions your organization defines, with no IT overhaul.
What does Omni’s patient access support include?
Omni’s patient access support covers scheduling, intake, eligibility verification, referral management, in basket messages, patient recall, and patient cost estimates. It works as a virtual front door for your practice, so patients are scheduled and verified correctly the first time. Coverage gaps are caught before they become denials.
Can Omni handle inbound and outbound patient calls?
Yes. Omni manages inbound scheduling calls and outbound outreach, including recalls, reminders, and follow ups. For University of Maryland physicians, Omni reached 9,271 patients in three months at an 88% connect rate, and dedicated inbound coverage cut abandoned calls from 18.3% to 6.3%.
Does Omni offer after hours patient support?
Yes. After hours support keeps your phones answered when your office is closed. Teams schedule appointments, capture messages, and route urgent matters using your escalation rules. Patients reach a real person, and your staff start the next day with an organized queue.
What hours does after hours support cover?
Whatever hours you need. Omni can cover evenings, overnights, weekends, holidays, or around the clock 24/7 support. Tell us the schedule and structure you want, and we’ll build coverage around it and confirm it in your proposal.
How does Omni help reduce claim denials?
Most denials start at the front end. Omni verifies eligibility, confirms VOB (verification of benefits)/ authorization requirements, and checks documentation before services are rendered. Denials that still occur are corrected, resubmitted, or appealed, so prevention and recovery run as one connected workflow.
What is revenue cycle management?
Revenue cycle management (RCM) is how a healthcare organization tracks a patient account from scheduling and registration through coding, claim submission, payment posting, and final balance. Strong RCM lowers denials, shortens days in A/R, and increases collections. Omni covers the full revenue cycle through its RCM and Recovery service, including coding, credentialing, payment posting, and patient billing.
Does Omni provide medical coding?
Yes. Omni provides medical coding as part of its RCM and Recovery service, alongside the rest of the revenue cycle, from registration through final balance.
Does Omni handle payment posting and patient billing calls?
Yes. Omni handles payment posting and patient billing calls, including questions about statements and balances, so payments are recorded accurately and patients get clear answers.
Does Omni handle provider credentialing?
Yes. Omni handles provider credentialing, so your providers are enrolled with payers and can bill without delays.
What is Omni Workflow Intelligence?
Omni Workflow Intelligence is the visibility layer across every Omni service. It records inbound and outbound patient calls and analyzes them with AI. Call volume, transcripts, sentiment, and quality scores appear in real time dashboards, so you can see how your patient access operation is actually performing.
How does Omni use AI in healthcare operations?
Omni uses AI to analyze recorded patient calls, surface patient sentiment, and flag quality issues. Trained people handle every patient conversation. AI supports the team rather than replacing it, so patients speak with a real person and leaders get insight they can act on.
What reports will we receive?
Much more than call counts. Every client gets a live analytics dashboard, and every metric can
