How to check PACE Central New York eligibility

PACE Central New York uses payer ID 8258. It also appears as 3010, 70454 in some systems.

Does PACE Central New York support real-time eligibility verification?+

PACE Central New York 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 PACE Central New York 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.
