## Docs

- [Get eligibility check status](https://docs.shasta.health/api-reference/eligibility/get-eligibility-check-status.md): Returns the current processing status of an eligibility check. Poll this endpoint after submitting a check via `POST /api/eligibility` until the status is no longer `open`.
- [Submit an eligibility check](https://docs.shasta.health/api-reference/eligibility/submit-an-eligibility-check.md): Creates a new insurance eligibility check task for the given subscriber and provider. The check is processed asynchronously. Use the `id` in the response to poll for the result via `GET /api/eligibility/{id}/status`.
- [Eligibility check completed](https://docs.shasta.health/api-reference/webhooks/eligibility-check-completed.md): Fired when an eligibility check finishes processing (status becomes `COMPLETED` or `FAILED`). The payload is identical to the `GET /api/eligibility/{id}/status` response.
- [Authentication](https://docs.shasta.health/guides/authentication.md): Generate, store, and use your Shasta Health API key to authenticate requests.
- [Eligibility Check Guide](https://docs.shasta.health/guides/eligibility-check.md): How to submit an insurance eligibility check, poll for results, and receive notifications via webhook when a check completes.
