Contracts define reimbursement terms and participation requirements. The directory maintains real-time provider data for member access. Network adequacy analysis ensures compliance with time/distance and specialty requirements. Provider profiling scores performance for value-based arrangements.

Requirements

  • CAQH ProView integration for credentialing
  • NPPES NPI verification
  • State license verification API access
