Description
Eligibility Status Report is used to check the eligibility of a bulk number of patients at a time. In other words, it is also called batch eligibility verification. When the report is generated, it gives eligibility information about the list of patients based on the search criteria. Eligibility status reports can be generated only if the eligibility verification option is activated with the clearinghouse.
