Frequently asked questions
Can this Optum Server submit medical claims or process remittances automatically?
Absolutely strictly not. Per rigorous Least Privilege modeling common to US Healthcare operations, Front-Desk tasks (Eligibility) are decoupled natively from Back-Office operations. For submitting medical claims, integrate the optum-claims-mcp array safely.
How does the agent handle HIPAA compliance for patient data?
The MCP server transmits data directly via secure Optum APIs over TLS. No PHI (Protected Health Information) is cached locally, ensuring full compliance with HIPAA regulations.
Can I check out-of-network benefits?
Yes. The eligibility payload returns detailed tiered benefits including deductibles and coinsurance for out-of-network services based on the specific policy details.
How do I add an MCP server to Claude Code?
Run claude mcp add <name> --transport http "<url>" in your terminal. Claude Code registers the server and discovers all tools immediately.
Can Claude Code run MCP tools in headless mode?
Yes. Claude Code supports non-interactive execution, making it ideal for scripts, cron jobs, and CI/CD pipelines that need MCP tool access.
How do I list all connected MCP servers?
Run claude mcp in your terminal to see all registered servers and their status, or type /mcp inside an active Claude Code session.
