Use the secure PHP for eligibility verification
IHCP provides eligibility verification through PHP and other official channels. A Medicaid card does not establish current eligibility. Use the official portal link below and verify coverage for the actual visit date.
IHCP eligibility verification resources
Open Eligibility Verification Request
After login, select Eligibility → Eligibility Verification Request. Search by Member ID, SSN and date of birth, or first name, last name, and date of birth. Enter the required Effective From date; Effective To is optional. Submit the inquiry.

Choose dates the portal can verify
The portal does not accept future dates. A requested range must remain within one calendar month; historical inquiries extend up to seven years, subject to the provider’s active enrollment for the dates requested. For recurring visits, verify each date of service.

Review coverage details and managed care assignment
Open Coverage Details and Benefit Details, and expand the other response panels. Review the dated MCE assignment, other insurance, and applicable restrictions. Benefit-limit information in this response reflects FFS paid claims, not MCE claim utilization.

Distinguish member not found from not eligible
A member-not-found response calls for checking identity information. Not Eligible is a coverage result for the queried dates. Resolve the distinction before changing the member record or choosing a payer. Retain the eligibility evidence securely with the service-date billing record.

Complete a separate claims-route review
PHP supports eligibility and FFS nonpharmacy claim functions. Our recommendation is to record the coverage period, responsible payer, unresolved restrictions, and next action before claim preparation. Use the managed care and claims guides below to complete that review.
