Insurances

Overview

The Insurance object represents the medical insurance plans a practitioner accepts or your patient uses to pay for their healthcare.

Index Version support

Read about the Index Versions concept here. By default, our API returns medical insurance plans that are known to be accepted by the practitioners we expose appointment booking capabilities for. This data is accessible using the idx_standard index.

You may want to use your own index version for a few different reasons:

1. to manage your own internal provider directory, and maintain new or updated insurance plan information
2. to modify the plan data to fit your needs, for example, to maintain a different display_name for some insurance plans

Use the Closure-Index-Version header to specify which Index Version you want to write to and read from.
