How to check Point Comfort Correctional CARE eligibility
A portal or phone check takes a front-desk staffer 10–15 minutes per patient. Point Comfort Correctional CARE has no eligibility API — so instead of your staff doing that, our screen agent runs the portal check for you, on your schedule.

Frequently asked questions
What is the payer ID for Point Comfort Correctional CARE?+–
Point Comfort Correctional CARE uses payer ID PCG05.
Does Point Comfort Correctional CARE support real-time eligibility verification?+–
Point Comfort Correctional CARE 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 Point Comfort Correctional CARE 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.
