How to check CareCentrix eligibility
A portal or phone check takes a front-desk staffer 10–15 minutes per patient. CareCentrix has no eligibility API — so instead of your staff doing that, our screen agent runs the portal check for you, on your schedule.

Three ways to verify CareCentrix coverage
- Payer portal — free, but one patient at a time and 10–15 minutes each with logins.
- Phone (IVR) — hold times vary; no written record for the chart.
Automated portal check
Medman's screen agent signs in to the CareCentrix portal with your practice's own login and checks your whole schedule before the day starts. Results are waiting at check-in instead of being looked up one patient at a time.
Setup required: we connect your portal login during onboarding.

Frequently asked questions
What is the payer ID for CareCentrix?
CareCentrix uses payer ID 11345. It also appears as 11345MA, 5266, 7658 in some systems.
Does CareCentrix support real-time eligibility verification?
CareCentrix has no eligibility API, so there is no 270/271 transaction to send. Checks still run automatically: our screen agent performs the portal check for you on your schedule, rather than a staff member doing it per patient. Setup is required. Claims can be submitted electronically.
How long does a CareCentrix eligibility check take?
A portal check takes 10–15 minutes of staff time per patient. A screen agent runs the same check without occupying anyone — scheduled ahead of the day's appointments, so results are waiting rather than being fetched one patient at a time.
Run your first CareCentrix eligibility check
Our screen agent runs the CareCentrix portal check with your practice's own login, for the whole schedule. No annual contract, no implementation project.
