FAQ

Questions HealthCare.gov owners ask.

  • 01

    How do I obtain a HealthCare.gov API Key?

    You must request a free API key through the CMS Marketplace API portal (developer.cms.gov/marketplace-api). Keys are typically sent via email and must be renewed every 60 days.

  • 02

    Can I check if my doctor is in-network for a specific plan?

    Yes! Use the get_provider_coverage capability by providing the plan ID and the provider ID. The agent will confirm the network status for that specific combination.

  • 03

    What geographic information is required for plan searches?

    Most searches require a 5-digit ZIP code and a 5-digit County FIPS code. You can use the get_counties_by_zip capability to retrieve the FIPS code for any ZIP code.

  • 04

    Is the integration secure for searching health data?

    Absolutely. The integration uses official CMS API keys over HTTPS. Your credentials are encrypted and stored securely within the Vinkius Cloud infrastructure.
