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

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Saudi Health Mission uses payer ID SHM01. It also appears as 3008, 8256 in some systems.
Saudi Health Mission 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.
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.
