Frequently asked questions

The all-payer claims API and Medicare-direct connectivity are gated behind the Strategic Partner Program. developer.inovalonone.com offers a 14-day self-serve sandbox, but it covers only the DataStream payer FHIR product.
Without a usable official API, teams fall back on manual exports, file drops, or one-off vendor integrations. The other option is an unofficial API layer like Supergood that automates the authenticated web app directly. Site terms may apply to any integration approach, and how they apply is a determination each team makes for itself.

Grades measure one thing: can a customer's engineering team get their own data out programmatically? We check six things (whether a real API exists, how access is gated, data coverage, auth quality, docs and developer experience, and stability) and roll them into a letter grade. Grades get re-verified, and they only move on evidence.
