Submit encounter eligibility check (Availity)

Availity has transitioned their GET endpoint to a POST endpoint. Candid has updated their pass-through integration to enable backwards compatibility for the GET endpoint so that customers do not have to immediately update their integrations.

Candid recommends integrations with the POST endpoint to ensure the best possible integration experience. Given the transition, Availity’s documentation will be out of sync with this endpoint.

If you’d like access to this endpoint, please reach out to support@joincandidhealth.com with the subject line “Action: Activate Availity Eligibility API Endpoint

This API is a wrapper around Availity’s coverages API. Below are some helpful documentation links:

• Availity - Coverages 1.0.0 API
• Candid Availity Eligibility Integration Guide

A schema of the response object can be found here: Availity Docs
