How to check ValueOptions Pennsylvania Medicaid eligibility
A portal or phone check takes a front-desk staffer 10–15 minutes per patient. ValueOptions Pennsylvania Medicaid 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 ValueOptions Pennsylvania Medicaid 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 ValueOptions Pennsylvania Medicaid 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 ValueOptions Pennsylvania Medicaid?
ValueOptions Pennsylvania Medicaid uses payer ID 00817.
Does ValueOptions Pennsylvania Medicaid support real-time eligibility verification?
ValueOptions Pennsylvania Medicaid 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 ValueOptions Pennsylvania Medicaid 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.
