![Sohar Health API code sample posting a batch verification request with placeholder patient and payer fields](https://www.verifytx.com/blog/change-healthcare-alternatives/change-healthcare-alternatives-4.webp)

Sohar Health is worth considering if you mainly use Change Healthcare for eligibility and want to move verification closer to the start of the patient intake process.
