The [Batch Eligibility Check (270/271) API](https://www.stedi.com/docs/healthcare/api-reference/post-healthcare-batch-eligibility) now supports up to 1,000 eligibility checks per batch. Previously, batches were limited to 500 checks each.

The Batch Eligibility Check (270/271) API lets you submit multiple eligibility checks in a single request, which Stedi processes asynchronously. You can use batch checks to run periodic patient eligibility refreshes before appointments, preventing surprises and billing delays.
