Public surface / Payer Patient Access APIs
CareSource Patient Access API
This endpoint declares a complete, interoperable public surface.
Observed surface
- Base URL
https://orchestrateserver.caresource.careevolution.com/api/fhir/r4- Category
- Payer Patient Access APIs
- Availability
- answered 30 of the last 30 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 464 ms | HTTP 200 |
github-actions/ubuntu-latest | reached | answered in 816 ms | HTTP 200 |
github-actions/windows-latest | reached | answered in 500 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.

Findings
Declared capability changes
- 2026-09-16: software_version: '0.55.3' -> '0.56.0'
- 2026-09-22: software_version: '0.56.0' -> '0.58.0'
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 | declared | token_endpoint_auth_methods_supported lists private_key_jwt among 3 | SMART discovery: token_endpoint_auth_methods_supported |
| Declares the client_credentials grant, which SMART Backend Services uses | declared | grant_types_supported lists client_credentials among 2 | SMART discovery: grant_types_supported |
| Declares the client-confidential-asymmetric capability | declared | capabilities lists client-confidential-asymmetric among 13 | SMART discovery: capabilities |
| Declares system-level scopes | declared | 46 of 163 scopes_supported are system/ scopes | SMART discovery: scopes_supported |
| Declares an export operation | declared | export is declared on Group, Patient | CapabilityStatement: rest.operation and rest.resource.operation |
| Instantiates the Bulk Data Access implementation guide | not listed | 7 canonicals are instantiated and none is Bulk Data's | CapabilityStatement: instantiates |
Registry provenance
How this entry was verified
base URL printed verbatim under 'API endpoint:' on the CareEvolution-hosted specification page CareSource links as 'Patient Access Open API Specification' from its own state-scoped interoperability page (https://www.caresource.com/oh/about-us/legal/interoperability-apis/, accordion 'API Definition:'). Two independent reviews reached the same URL from the Ohio and Wisconsin pages; the identical spec links appear on all fourteen of CareSource's state-scoped pages, so this is one national surface rather than a per-state deployment. The state-agnostic page carries only marketing copy and no endpoint, which is why the state-prefixed URL is the citation. Live CapabilityStatement retrieved (recorded 2026-09-04). No later re-check is recorded, so the date above is the last time anyone checked this entry against the live endpoint.
