Abstract
Consistently coded eligibility data is provided. Eligibility responses may be received from various payers comprising inconsistently coded eligibility benefit (EB) information provided in EB segments in various locations in the responses. A data restructuring engine may be operable to receive an eligibility response and restructure the response into a consistent format. Co-pay, co-insurance, benefit limitations, and benefit specific deductibles may be clarified by embedding coded strings in one or more message segments attached to EB segments. Service types, network indicators, place of service codes, and message text may be removed when a coded strings is created. Recoded eligibility responses may be provided to healthcare providers, providing coverage, eligibility, and benefit data in a consistent and standardized form, regardless of the payer sending the eligibility response.
