Public surface / Payer Patient Access APIs
AmeriHealth Caritas Next (Delaware) Patient Access API
This endpoint declares a solid public surface with minor gaps.
Observed surface
- Base URL
https://api-ext.amerihealthcaritas.com/DEEX/patient-api- Category
- Payer Patient Access APIs
- Availability
- answered 16 of the last 16 daily checks (100%)
- Last answered
- 2026-10-03 (answered on this run)
- Vantage agreement
- reachable from all 3 vantages, which are 3 hosts on one network (github-actions): one network's view sampled 3 times, not 3 independent networks
What each vantage saw
| Vantage | Result | What it saw | Condition |
|---|---|---|---|
github-actions/macos-latest | reached | answered in 269 ms | HTTP 200 |
github-actions/ubuntu-latest | reached | answered in 872 ms | HTTP 200 |
github-actions/windows-latest | reached | answered in 484 ms | HTTP 200 |
Vantages on one network are one network’s view sampled several times. A rule applied to that network’s address space reaches every one of them at once and reads exactly like agreement.
Interpretation
A grade describes two public discovery documents at one point in time. It does not inspect patient data, authenticated behavior, or clinical quality.

Declared app-to-server access
What the endpoint's own documents declare about app-to-server access, observed on this run. Nothing here was requested or exercised, and none of it is graded. An absent field is reported as absent, not as a refusal: a document that does not mention a field has not said anything about it.
| Question | Answer | What the document says | Where it is declared |
|---|---|---|---|
| Declares private_key_jwt client authentication at the token endpoint | not declared: the field is absent | the document has no token_endpoint_auth_methods_supported | SMART discovery: token_endpoint_auth_methods_supported |
| Declares the client_credentials grant, which SMART Backend Services uses | not declared: the field is absent | the document has no grant_types_supported | SMART discovery: grant_types_supported |
| Declares the client-confidential-asymmetric capability | not listed | capabilities lists 9 and not client-confidential-asymmetric | SMART discovery: capabilities |
| Declares system-level scopes | not listed | none of 2 scopes_supported is a system/ scope | SMART discovery: scopes_supported |
| Declares an export operation | not listed | 213 operations are declared and none is named export | CapabilityStatement: rest.operation and rest.resource.operation |
| Instantiates the Bulk Data Access implementation guide | not listed | 0 canonicals are instantiated and none is Bulk Data's | CapabilityStatement: instantiates |
Registry provenance
How this entry was verified
the DEEX row of the Swagger API Details table on AmeriHealth Caritas's corporate developer portal, labeled 'AmeriHealth Caritas Next, Delaware', which prints https://api-ext.amerihealthcaritas.com/DEEX/patient-api/metadata. Live CapabilityStatement retrieved unauthenticated from the davis-ca residential vantage: fhirVersion 4.0.1, software 'AmeriHealth Caritas' 1.0.0, 22 resource types, implementation.url matching the requested base exactly. Listed as its own entry rather than mapped to the Florida, Louisiana or North Carolina entries for the reason the 2026-09-04 wave recorded when it made the same call for LAEX and NCEX: the publisher's table carries a separate plan id per state and each serves a distinct document. The table also carries DEDS and DEDSC rows, which are Delaware dual-eligible plans and not individual-market QHP issuers, so they are out of this frame (recorded 2026-09-13). No later re-check is recorded, so the date above is the last time anyone checked this entry against the live endpoint.
