How to check Health Care Los Angeles Independent Practice Association (HCLA) eligibility

A portal or phone check takes a front-desk staffer 10–15 minutes per patient. Health Care Los Angeles Independent Practice Association (HCLA) 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 Health Care Los Angeles Independent Practice Association (HCLA) coverage

  1. Payer portal — free, but one patient at a time and 10–15 minutes each with logins.
  2. Phone (IVR) — hold times vary; no written record for the chart.
The third way

Automated portal check

Medman's screen agent signs in to the Health Care Los Angeles Independent Practice Association (HCLA) 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.
