Public surface / Payer Provider Directory APIs
L.A. Care Health Plan Provider Directory API
This endpoint declares a complete, interoperable public surface.
Observed surface
- Base URL
https://us107.ir4.edifecscloud.com/lac/fhir/pd/R4- Category
- Payer Provider Directory APIs
- Availability
- answered 56 of the last 56 daily checks (100%)

- 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. 3 vantages returned 2 different declarations this run (github-actions/ubuntu-latest, github-actions/windows-latest; github-actions/macos-latest); the 2 agreeing vantages are graded
What each vantage saw
| Vantage | Result | What it saw | Condition |
|---|---|---|---|
github-actions/macos-latest | reached | answered in 221 ms | HTTP 200 |
github-actions/ubuntu-latest | reached | answered in 683 ms | HTTP 200 |
github-actions/windows-latest | reached | answered in 546 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 capability changes

Declarations this endpoint returns to
This address has served a declaration, moved away from it, and served it again. That usually means one hostname in front of more than one backend rather than a publisher changing anything, so each return is counted here once instead of being reported as a fresh capability change every time a probe lands on the other backend.
- 2026-08-08 to 2026-09-30: returned 21 times to a declaration first observed 2026-08-08 (software_version: '5.4.1.11_edfx' -> '5.4.1.13_edfx') - counted, not recorded as a new change each time
- 2026-08-11 to 2026-10-02: returned 21 times to a declaration first observed 2026-08-08 (software_version: '5.4.1.13_edfx' -> '5.4.1.11_edfx') - counted, not recorded as a new change each time
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 retrieved on this run | the SMART discovery document was requested and not served on this run | SMART discovery: token_endpoint_auth_methods_supported |
| Declares the client_credentials grant, which SMART Backend Services uses | not retrieved on this run | the SMART discovery document was requested and not served on this run | SMART discovery: grant_types_supported |
| Declares the client-confidential-asymmetric capability | not retrieved on this run | the SMART discovery document was requested and not served on this run | SMART discovery: capabilities |
| Declares system-level scopes | not retrieved on this run | the SMART discovery document was requested and not served on this run | SMART discovery: scopes_supported |
| Declares an export operation | not listed | 27 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
live CapabilityStatement fetch (fhirVersion 4.0.1, 24 resource types); implementation.url matches the requested base exactly. The document names no organization at all: publisher reads 'Not provided' and software is a generic 'HAPI FHIR Server' with an Edifecs build suffix (5.4.1.11_edfx) on an Edifecs-controlled host. Attribution to L.A. Care rests entirely on the plan publishing this exact string as its 'PROD Base/Endpoint URL' at https://lacare.org/technical-information, never on the 'lac' path segment (recorded 2026-08-07). Re-checked 2026-08-19: live CapabilityStatement re-fetch from the davis-ca residential vantage; fhirVersion 4.0.1, 24 resource types, publisher 'Not provided', software 'HAPI FHIR Server 5.4.1.11_edfx'.
