The Certify API: Unlocking the Future of Provider Data

For too long, healthcare organizations have been held back by fragmented data and manual processes. The tools meant to help—clunky portals and disconnected software—often become little more than digital filing cabinets, creating more administrative work than they eliminate. This legacy approach, built on manual data entry and periodic checks, is no longer sustainable. It’s slow, prone to error, and creates a significant drag on efficiency and compliance.
But what if your provider data platform wasn't just a destination you logged into, but a dynamic engine that plugged directly into your core operations?
At Certify, we believe the future of provider data management is integrated, automated, configurable, and real-time. Our next-generation technology is built on a powerful, API-first foundation designed to modernize your entire provider data infrastructure. It’s time to stop chasing data and start building a true central nervous system for your provider network.
A Single Source of Truth, Accessible Everywhere
The promise of a "single source of truth" is only realized when that truth is available where and when you need it. Our API provides comprehensive endpoints to create, retrieve, and manage every facet of a provider or facility profile. From basic demographics to complex credentialing histories, you can programmatically access a complete, unified record.
End-to-End Efficiency Driven by Automation
Imagine verifying provider data in seconds, moving a credentialing file from intake to approval in minutes, and monitoring your entire network in real-time—our API makes this possible.
With our Credentialing Workflow endpoints, you can programmatically move a provider to the next step—approving, denying, or even canceling the workflow—and instantly trigger the next action in your internal systems. You can add internal notes for communication, populate template fields for outreach, and manage the entire lifecycle. This isn't just about reducing clicks; it's about eliminating entire manual processes for significant time and cost savings. And all of this is fully configurable to leverage your existing legacy systems so that you don’t have to build it from scratch.
Automated Data Collection and Accurate Verifications
The days of chasing down documents and waiting weeks for primary source verification (PSV) are over. Our API directly connects you to real-time PSV data. You can:
- Retrieve CAQH Data: Instantly pull comprehensive provider data directly from CAQH with a single API call to the
/v2/provider/{providerId}/caqh-data
endpoint. - Access PSV Documents: Obtain a secure, time-limited signed URL for a provider's complete PSV PDF using the
/v2/provider/{providerId}/psv/signed-url
endpoint. - Manage Supporting Documents: Programmatically upload documents and retrieve signed URLs for existing ones, ensuring all necessary files are centrally managed and accessible.
Continuous Monitoring and Simplified Compliance
Maintaining compliance in a constantly changing regulatory landscape requires a proactive, approach. The Certify API provides the tools for continuous, automated monitoring.
- Real-Time Alerts with Webhooks: Our
/v2/webhooks
endpoint allows you to register for real-time notifications on dozens of critical events, fromCREDENTIALING_COMPLETED
toPROVIDER_TERMINATED
. When a provider's status changes, your systems know instantly. - Proactive Flag Management: The API provides a suite of endpoints for managing Flags—our automated alerts for provider data changes, such as new sanctions or expiring licenses. You can search for flags, mark them as read, and deactivate them in bulk, building a fully automated compliance and quality assurance workflow. This transforms monitoring from a periodic task into an always-on, automated function that minimizes compliance risk and helps you proactively identify "bad actors."
Build for the Future of Healthcare
A truly modern provider data infrastructure is one that is seamlessly integrated into the fabric of your organization. By leveraging the Certify API, you can move beyond the limitations of traditional software and build the efficient, compliant, and connected healthcare ecosystem of the future.

- BlogHealthcare is drowning in data—but not the good kind. Siloed databases, fragmented records, and redundant point solutions make it harder than ever to keep provider information accurate and up to date. The result? Administrative burdens, higher costs, and slower onboarding for providers who just want to deliver care.
