How to check Coastal Administrative Services eligibility

A portal or phone check takes a front-desk staffer 10–15 minutes per patient. Coastal Administrative Services 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 Coastal Administrative Services coverage

  1. Payer portal — free, but one patient at a time and 10–15 minutes each with logins.
  2. Phone (IVR) — hold times vary; no written record for the chart.
  3. Automated 270/271 check — full benefit detail in seconds, batched for the whole schedule, from $0.50 per check.
