get/Coverage/{id}
Page View

This resource describes a patient’s insurance plan information, which you may typically find on the patient’s insurance card. You can also use this resource to register for Selfpay (i.e., when an entity other than the insurance or guarantor pays for healthcare costs, like worker’s compensation). Keep in mind that a Coverage resource contains details for your review, not approval or eligibility.

You can review or retrieve coverage information.
