Autogenerated PHP client for the Vericred API

VericredClient

Vericred's API allows you to search for Health Plans that a specific doctor accepts., _(*1)

Getting Started

Visit our Developer Portal to create an account., _(*2)

Once you have created an account, you can create one Application for Production and another for our Sandbox (select the appropriate Plan when you create the Application)., _(*3)

SDKs

Our API follows standard REST conventions, so you can use any HTTP client to integrate with us. You will likely find it easier to use one of our autogenerated SDKs, which we make available for several common programming languages., _(*4)

Authentication

To authenticate, pass the API Key you created in the Developer Portal as a Vericred-Api-Key header., _(*5)

curl -H 'Vericred-Api-Key: YOUR_KEY' "https://api.vericred.com/providers?search_term=Foo&zip_code=11215", _(*6)

Versioning

Vericred's API default to the latest version. However, if you need a specific version, you can request it with an Accept-Version header., _(*7)

The current version is v3. Previous versions are v1 and v2., _(*8)

curl -H 'Vericred-Api-Key: YOUR_KEY' -H 'Accept-Version: v2' "https://api.vericred.com/providers?search_term=Foo&zip_code=11215", _(*9)

Pagination

Endpoints that accept page and per_page parameters are paginated. They expose four additional fields that contain data about your position in the response, namely Total, Per-Page, Link, and Page as described in RFC-5988., _(*10)

For example, to display 5 results per page and view the second page of a GET to /networks, your final request would be GET /networks?....page=2&per_page=5., _(*11)

Sideloading

When we return multiple levels of an object graph (e.g. Providers and their States we sideload the associated data. In this example, we would provide an Array of States and a state_id for each provider. This is done primarily to reduce the payload size since many of the Providers will share a State, _(*12)

{
  providers: [{ id: 1, state_id: 1}, { id: 2, state_id: 1 }],
  states: [{ id: 1, code: 'NY' }]
}

If you need the second level of the object graph, you can just match the corresponding id., _(*13)

Selecting specific data

All endpoints allow you to specify which fields you would like to return. This allows you to limit the response to contain only the data you need., _(*14)

For example, let's take a request that returns the following JSON by default, _(*15)

{
  provider: {
    id: 1,
    name: 'John',
    phone: '1234567890',
    field_we_dont_care_about: 'value_we_dont_care_about'
  },
  states: [{
    id: 1,
    name: 'New York',
    code: 'NY',
    field_we_dont_care_about: 'value_we_dont_care_about'
  }]
}

To limit our results to only return the fields we care about, we specify the select query string parameter for the corresponding fields in the JSON document., _(*16)

In this case, we want to select name and phone from the provider key, so we would add the parameters select=provider.name,provider.phone. We also want the name and code from the states key, so we would add the parameters select=states.name,states.code. The id field of each document is always returned whether or not it is requested., _(*17)

Our final request would be GET /providers/12345?select=provider.name,provider.phone,states.name,states.code, _(*18)

The response would be, _(*19)

{
  provider: {
    id: 1,
    name: 'John',
    phone: '1234567890'
  },
  states: [{
    id: 1,
    name: 'New York',
    code: 'NY'
  }]
}

Benefits summary format

Benefit cost-share strings are formatted to capture: * Network tiers * Compound or conditional cost-share * Limits on the cost-share * Benefit-specific maximum out-of-pocket costs, _(*20)

Example #1 As an example, we would represent this Summary of Benefits & Coverage as:, _(*21)

• Hospital stay facility fees:, _(*22)

  • Network Provider: $400 copay/admit plus 20% coinsurance
  • Out-of-Network Provider: $1,500 copay/admit plus 50% coinsurance
  • Vericred's format for this benefit: In-Network: $400 before deductible then 20% after deductible / Out-of-Network: $1,500 before deductible then 50% after deductible

• Rehabilitation services:, _(*23)

  • Network Provider: 20% coinsurance
  • Out-of-Network Provider: 50% coinsurance
  • Limitations & Exceptions: 35 visit maximum per benefit period combined with Chiropractic care.
  • Vericred's format for this benefit: In-Network: 20% after deductible / Out-of-Network: 50% after deductible | limit: 35 visit(s) per Benefit Period

Example #2 In this other Summary of Benefits & Coverage, the specialty_drugs cost-share has a maximum out-of-pocket for in-network pharmacies. * Specialty drugs: - Network Provider: 40% coinsurance up to a $500 maximum for up to a 30 day supply - Out-of-Network Provider Not covered - Vericred's format for this benefit: In-Network: 40% after deductible, up to $500 per script / Out-of-Network: 100%, _(*24)
