Question:
Can I submit real-time eligibility requests in a batch, or should each patient be submitted individually?
Answer:
For real-time eligibility using the Claim.MD API, each eligibility inquiry should be submitted one patient at a time. The recommended approach is to send a separate 270-style request for each patient and process each corresponding 271 response individually.
At this time, the Claim.MD API does not support a batch-style real-time eligibility submission. All real-time eligibility requests must be submitted through the real-time eligibility endpoint on a per-patient basis.
For additional details on real-time eligibility requests, see the Realtime Eligibility API endpoint in our documentation. For general guidance on getting started and best practices, you may also find the API Quickstart Guide and full API documentation helpful.
