How to check Ingham Health Plan Corporation eligibility
A portal or phone check takes a front-desk staffer 10–15 minutes per patient. Ingham Health Plan Corporation 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 Ingham Health Plan Corporation 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 Ingham Health Plan Corporation 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 Ingham Health Plan Corporation?
Ingham Health Plan Corporation uses payer ID 38343. It also appears as 7252, 8670 in some systems.
Does Ingham Health Plan Corporation support real-time eligibility verification?
Ingham Health Plan Corporation 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 Ingham Health Plan Corporation 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.
