Surescripts Eligibility and Formulary is one of 8 APIs that [Surescripts](https://apis.io/providers/surescripts/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network. Tagged areas include Eligibility, Formulary, Benefit, and X12. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes API documentation and an API reference.

Verifies patient pharmacy benefit eligibility and returns formulary and benefit coverage details so prescribers see coverage and coverage alternatives in workflow. Eligibility rides X12 270 request / 271 response exchange through the network; formulary rides the NCPDP Formulary and Benefit standard. Companion guides for both are published on the Surescripts Developer Portal; the machine-callable download surface is catalogued separately as the Formulary Download API.
