XML Request - InstaMed Developer Portal

InstaMed Connect supports two methods to process XML real-time Eligibility transactions:

DoEligibilityInquiry: Returns the eligibility response supplied by the payer
DoEligibilityInquiryEnhanced: Returns the payer’s eligibility response with the Effective Benefit information determined by InstaMed

The request format is identical for both the DoEligibilityInquiry and DoEligibilityInquiryEnhanced methods.
