Clinicians can share a Thrizer-hosted link or embed the widget on their website. The widget can help clients understand estimated reimbursement and estimated out-of-pocket responsibility before starting care. Widget results are estimates only. The insurance carrier determines final coverage, reimbursement, deductible application, and claim outcomes. ## Benefits Checker and widget The Benefits Checker and the widget are part of the same benefits-checking setup in Thrizer. The Benefits Checker is the clinician-facing name inside the Clinician Portal, and the widget is the public version prospective clients use. Configuring one configures the other — you do not manage them as two separate products. The widget is free to use for all clinician accounts. Business information and bank information are not required to display the public widget. ## How this works The widget gives clients a way to check estimated out-of-network benefits before intake, consultation, or session billing. It uses information such as: * the selected service * the session rate * the client’s insurance details The widget uses those inputs to generate an estimated reimbursement amount and estimated out-of-pocket responsibility. The widget uses the client information entered to generate the estimate. Thrizer does not save that information. ## Who the widget is for The widget is mainly for clinicians or practices that want prospective clients to check out-of-network benefit estimates before they begin care. Clients can use the widget through a link shared by the clinician or through an embedded version on the clinician’s website. ## What information does the widget use? The widget uses the clinician’s configured services and rates, along with client insurance information entered during the benefit check. A practice must have at least one active team member with an active service and a defined rate before the widget can be used. ## What clinicians can customize or share In the Clinician Portal, the Thrizer Widget supports: * customization * website embed * a Thrizer-hosted shareable link * analytics The widget is managed from the Benefits area of the Clinician Portal. ## Are widget results guaranteed? No. Widget results are estimates based on available benefit information. Insurance carriers determine final coverage, reimbursement, claim approval, deductible application, and claim timing. For the full list of what a benefit check can and cannot confirm, see [What is a benefit check?](/help/payments/what-is-a-benefit-check). ## What if the benefit check fails or looks incomplete? A failed or incomplete automated benefit check does not automatically mean the client lacks coverage. In those cases, Thrizer may need manual verification before benefits can be safely interpreted. See [Manual benefit checks](/help/widget/manual-benefit-checks) for common reasons, what information may be needed, and what manual verification can confirm. ## Is the widget required to create a charge or submit a claim? No. The widget is intended to help clients check and understand estimated out-of-network benefits before care or billing. Using the widget is not required to create a charge or submit a claim. ## What Thrizer does Thrizer provides the widget so clinicians can offer prospective clients an estimated out-of-network benefit check using the clinician’s configured services and rates. Thrizer may use available benefit information to estimate reimbursement and estimated out-of-pocket responsibility. ## What insurance determines Insurance determines the final claim outcome. That includes: * whether the claim is approved or denied * whether the claim applies to deductible * whether reimbursement is paid * how much reimbursement is paid * when the claim is processed ## Related articles Learn how clinicians configure, share, or embed the widget for prospective clients.
