Current grade B

Reachability100

Capability transparency80

Interop readiness60

Observed surface

Base URL: https://fhir.scfhp.com/baseR4
Category: Payer Patient Access APIs
Availability: answered 8 of 8 checks so far; availability is reported once 14 observations exist
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

Interpretation

A grade describes two public discovery documents at one point in time. It does not inspect patient data, authenticated behavior, or clinical quality.

Registry provenance

How this entry was verified

live CapabilityStatement fetch (fhirVersion 4.0.1, 146 resource types); the publisher field reads 'Not provided', so identity rests on implementation description 'FHIR Endpoint powered by SCFHP' plus control of the scfhp.com domain, and on the plan publishing this base URL in its own developer documentation at https://www.scfhp.com/for-developers/documentation/ (recorded 2026-08-07)
