Show HN: Demo application for Eligible Web Services.

For a number of common health insurance transactions (verifying/checking health insurance information for a patient, procedure eligibility, patient demographics, claims status) that are part of the standard HIPAA transaction set, Eligible replaces legacy X12 EDI with a modern API.<p>Basically, if you are building any healthcare tools that could use administrative information from a health insurance company, you should probably be doing it on Eligible's platform.<p><a href="http://eligibleapi.com" rel="nofollow">http://eligibleapi.com</a>

Just so happens this hits #1 on HN just as GitHub has a major service outage... <a href="https://status.github.com/" rel="nofollow">https://status.github.com/</a>

I really really have no idea what this thing is about. Can someone explain please?

If you don't believe in easy eligibility integration yet, prepare for the magic show.

Not related to the project itself but with Eligible. Not sure if the author is related to them.<p>I just checked their pricing page.<p>Why the hell do they have this in a threatening wording:<p>* <i>If you force us to apply pass-throughs we will contact you.</i><p>First, why use the * ? I scanned the damn page trying to find out where the * was on the text.<p>Second, 'if you <i>FORCE</i> us ... we <i>WILL</i> contact you'. I don't even know what pass-through is but honestly, I feel I'm already under scrutiny even before using them.<p>Save it for the FAQ or Terms of Service.

As someone who once worked in this space (Specifically hospital HIMS), you had me at HL7. :)

how does this jive with RBM's? Are you even including radiology related service codes?

Great Job!
