Can this Optum Server check a patient's insurance card status?

No. In adherence to US Healthcare segregation architecture (Least Privilege), Claims processing is totally decoupled from Eligibility. For front-desk validations, install the `optum-eligibility-mcp` array safely.

Is this system capable of sending secondary claims crossing over from Medicare?

Yes. The X12 837 payload infrastructure fully supports coordination of benefits (COB) logic required to submit clean secondary claims dynamically.

How fast are ERA (835) remittances processed by the engine?

ERAs are fetched in real-time as they become available on Optum Clearinghouse networks, expediting auto-posting to your financial ledgers.
