What is OBEC (Overnight Batch Eligibility Checking) and do you offer something similar?
Overnight Batch Eligibility Checking (OBEC) is used to validate a health number and version code before a health service is provided reducing the potential for claims rejections. The health numbers and version codes are keyed and batched into formatted files to be electronically submitted to the ministry. Eligibility is verified against the ministry’s database based on the date the file is submitted. A response file is returned to the user the next business day.

Validate Health Card provides a more convenient and faster way to submit batch validations. Our batch service provides a response within the same day the file is submitted to our service. In order to use our batch service, a simple formatted CSV file must be created for submission.
