ChangeHealthcare::Eligibility

This Ruby Gem provides the automatically generated swagger code for the Change Healthcare Eligibility API. It also provides a wrapper that makes making requests a bit easier by caching and re-fetching authorization information.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'change_healthcare-eligibility'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install change_healthcare-eligibility

Usage

The automatically generated API is located under the namespace ChangeHealthcare::Eligibility::SwaggerClient. Most people should access it via the ChangeHealthcare::Eligibility::Wrapper class, which provides swagger caching.

That is used as so:

wrapper = ChangeHealthcare::Eligibility::Wrapper.new(client_id: ENV['CH_CLIENT_ID'], client_secret: ENV['CH_CLIENT_SECRET'])
request = ChangeHealthcare::Eligibility::SwaggerClient::MedicalEligibility.new
request.control_number = some_control_number
request.subscriber = some_subscriber
end

response = wrapper.eligibility(request) # => ChangeHealthcare::Eligibility::SwaggerClient::Response

response.benefits_information.any? { |bi| bi.name == 'Deductible' }

You can also make a request using tap, which you might subjectively find nicer:

request = ChangeHealthcare::Eligibility::SwaggerClient::MedicalEligibility.new.tap do |e|
  e.control_number = some_control_number
  e.subscriber = some_subscriber
end

Both of these have the same effect: you're just mutating attributes on a request object.

Development

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake spec to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
