My understanding is that the BEQ API is down right now due to a company, ‘Medizues’, overloading it with requests. They seem to have somehow been sponsored by Humana, who’s own eligibility tool that is dependent on the BEQ API is also down as a result. Seems to be a tough road to getting anything outside of Marx, which I already have access to.
Thanks,
Joe

Subject: Re: BIC Beneficiary Eligibility Query (BEQ) API
Here is an update:
1. BEQ API is only available to Carriers
It is unlikely that you will be able to find a Plan Sponsor that will help facilitate direct access to the BEQ API. My organization, along with a few other partner organizations, have attempted to gain approval for the BEQ but we have never been successful.
2. Some carriers may offer an enrollment or eligibility API that acts as a wrapper around the BEQ API.
Depending upon your existing carrier relationships, this probably represents the most viable path to run BEQ requests.
3. One other option that might be available to agents (& call centers) for one-off use-case(s) would be to gain access to the MARX system. This would also require carrier approval.
I would not recommend spending a significant amount of time trying to gain access via the BEQ_Distro email. I have spent a lot of time going down this path but it is a dead end!
