is there a feature for Benefit Eligibility Verification electronically with Open EMR 3.20?

using OpenEMR, I want to be able to inquire patients insurance benefit eligibility from clearing house or insurance company electronically without calling each insurers.

benefit eligibility should cover the following:
amount of deductible annually and up-to-date? co-pay amount per office visit? preventive care limit? does preventive care/vaccination/labwork apply to deductable amount? claim addresss.

hey,

Not a feature yet. But this is part of the Meaningful Use project (number 16 on below list):

The development for this feature hasn’t yet been started (per the status indicator)
