Surescripts

Surescripts operates the largest health information network in the United States, connecting prescribers, pharmacies, pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs), health plans, and health systems for e-prescribing, medication history, benefit and eligibility verification, electronic prior authorization, and clinical interoperability. Surescripts is a network operator rather than a public API provider - its transaction services run over NCPDP SCRIPT (NewRx, RxRenewal, RxChange, RxTransfer, RxFill, CancelRx), NCPDP Telecommunication, and X12 (270/271 eligibility, 278 prior authorization) standards. There is no self-serve developer portal, no published OpenAPI, and no free API keys; access is gated behind a Surescripts certification process (conformance testing against current NCPDP standards, plus DEA third-party audit for EPCS) or through a certified middleware/EHR partner. The service surfaces below are honestly modeled from Surescripts' published solution descriptions and the underlying NCPDP/X12 transaction standards - endpoints are not publicly documented.

Kin Score

This is the API Evangelist rating — a single, repeatable read computed from the artifacts on this page. Green fill is points earned; the red track is points possible, so every bar shows earned-versus-possible at a glance.

How we profile Surescripts

Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Surescripts. For each we say what it is and why it earns a place in the profile, then list every one we've indexed — capped at two rows, scroll within the panel for the rest.

APIs 6

Each API is captured as its own OpenAPI definition — every operation, parameter, and response. This is the single most useful machine-readable description of what an API does, and it's what lets us score, lint, mock, and generate against it without asking the provider for anything.

Security Posture 1

Authentication, domain security, vulnerability disclosure, and trust-center signals — the evidence that a provider takes security seriously enough to document it. We profile it because you can't govern what you can't see.
