VSP API

Does VSP have a public API?

VSP publishes no developer API for eligibility. Practices verify VSP coverage inside VSP's own practice-management software, which advertises the only direct connection to the carrier, or through the 2020source portal that sublease and corporate optometry practices log into. Integuru generates a production-ready HTTP API from your 2020source login, with 2 verified actions: patient eligibility and the signed-in account.

For an optometry billing team, that leaves a gap between the practice software's bulk verification and everyone else. A sublease inside a retail optical chain, an outsourced RCM firm, or a scheduling tool that wants to confirm benefits at booking time has a 2020source login and nothing programmatic. Integuru calls the portal's own endpoints directly, authenticated, using your own credentials, with the login and any second factor handled for you.

What you can do with the VSP API

The evening before clinic, tomorrow's schedule sits in one tab and 2020source in the other, and every VSP patient on the list means one more form to fill by hand.

Verify a patient before the visit

• check_patient_eligibility takes the policyholder's insured_first_name, insured_last_name and insured_date_of_birth, plus member_id or ssn_last_four, and returns eligibility for date_of_service (default today). Pass state_code (for example OH) when the plan is state-specific.
• Set relationship to dependent and add dependent_first_name, dependent_last_name and dependent_date_of_birth when the patient is a child or spouse on the policy.

Confirm the practice account

• get_account_details returns the signed-in 2020source account with no parameters, so a multi-location group can verify which practice a session belongs to before it runs a batch.

Who uses this

Revenue cycle startups that serve optometry and optical retail run check_patient_eligibility for every VSP patient on tomorrow's schedule and write the result back into the EHR through the EyeFinity integration. Front-desk automation tools verify benefits at booking so the patient hears the copay before they arrive. Practice groups that also carry medical plans pair this page with the Availity integration for commercial payers and the Alignment Health integration for Medicare Advantage members. The healthcare industry page covers payer portals and EHRs together.

Setup notes

Integuru authenticates against 2020source.eyefinity.com with your 2020source user. All dates are YYYY-MM-DD. Send member_id when you have it and fall back to ssn_last_four only when you do not; one of the two is required. Run get_account_details once per session in multi-location setups to confirm the practice context.

Get started

Install the CLI and connect your 2020source login:

npm install -g integuru

Or sign in at app.integuru.com, add VSP, and run check_patient_eligibility from the dashboard. Authorizations, claim submission and remittance lookups are built on request through the Managed Service.
