Client Eligibility Why Should You Check Eligibility? Providers are encouraged to check the eligibility status of a client before providing services because: A provider rendering services without verifying eligibility for BreastCare does so at the risk of not being reimbursed for the services. An accepted eligibility verification ensures that claims will not deny due to client ineligibility. Each client has an ID card with initial dates of eligibility listed, but these may change over time. 5
