Provider Directory API enables the patients (consumers) access via third-party consumer applications to the data related to insurance plans, associated networks and the organizations and providers that participate in these networks. The Provider Directory API leverages the DaVinci PDEX Plan Net Implementation Guide (IG) that focuses on Payer Provider Directories.
