What you can do

Take complete proxy control over your Medical Front-Desk operations, accelerating the intake of patients with automated real-time checks acting securely under Optum APIs:

  • Check Active Eligibility: Run advanced X12 270/271 mappings extracting if a patient holds an active healthcare policy seamlessly.
  • Verify Deductibles: Quickly identify out-of-pocket limits and met thresholds for an individual efficiently.
  • Check Provider Network: Look up if a specific doctor or facility operates strictly 'In-Network'.

How it works

  1. High Security & Compliance: Engineered entirely to handle Front-Desk requests (Reading PHI Demographics/Status only). This architecture deliberately excludes Financial/Claim mutations.
  2. Engage OAuth Protocol: Authorize directly substituting your institutional CLIENT_ID securely within the runtime module.
  3. Deploy: Offload reception verification workflows immediately.
