API Update: Patient Verification - Simplifying Data Extraction

We’ve made a major improvement to the Patient Verification API—and don’t worry, nothing breaks your current integration.

This change introduces new fields so you can access patient verification details directly, instead of pulling info out of text. For example, corrected names or numbers now appear in dedicated fields like "CorrectGivenName" or "CorrectMedicareNumber".

If you’re building new features, these fields make your life easier. If not, you can safely ignore this update—your current setup works exactly the same.

Example:

"Verified": false,

"Reason": "[Medicare] Patient Verification has been accepted however patient details were not an exact match. Please check patient Given Name before claiming. Correct Given Name: Maxine.

New Fields:

"CorrectMedicareNumber": null,

"CorrectMedicareReferenceNumber": null,

"CorrectGivenName": "MAXINE",

"CorrectFamilyName": null,

"CorrectDateOfBirth": null,

"CorrectSex": null

We’re always looking for ways to make your integrations cleaner and more robust. This is just one small step in that direction!
