Workflow
- Within the iScheduler, from either the right-click Appointment menu or from the Patient Index Card menu, select Eligibility.

- Verify that all the coverage information is correct and press OK.
- The coverage information will be returned after the response is received from the payer. Review the returned eligibility information either by Active Coverages or Services.
