Frequently asked questions
InstaMed scores C on the API Report Card. InstaMed documents REST, HTTP POST NVP, and SFTP integration paths on a public developer portal with sample code and self-serve sandbox key requests. Production access runs through JPMorgan partner contracting, and healthcare payments compliance adds onboarding steps.
InstaMed has an official API, but teams routinely hit its limits: gated access, partial coverage, or paid tiers. Most end up supplementing it with exports or an unofficial API layer like Supergood.

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.
Yes. Supergood maintains an unofficial InstaMed API and MCP server so AI agents and internal tools can read and write InstaMed data. See the InstaMed integration docs at supergood.ai/docs/instamed-api.
