Coming soon, we'll add a feature that allows you to look up a clients' Medicare history and Medicaid status.

Until then, you can do this lookup via various carrier portals – we've outlined this process for several carriers below.

A few notes:

  • UHC and Aetna tend to provide the most accurate information.

  • The data available may vary by carrier & resident state.

  • Medicaid eligibility only populates if the carrier has a DSNP in the state.
