# 1up Provider Directory

Centralize your in-network provider data in a CMS-compliant, FHIR®-first directory.

## Benefits

### Provider Data You Can Rely On

Keeping provider data accurate and compliant is hard. 1up Provider Directory centralizes provider information into a standards-based, FHIR® directory that stays current and supports public, CMS-compliant discovery.

With CMS-4208-F2 raising the stakes beyond CMS-9115-F — adding Medicare Plan Finder submission requirements and annual executive attestation — health plans need a solution they can trust. Built on HL7® FHIR® R4 and live since 2021, 1up Provider Directory gives health plans the accurate, standardized data they need to confidently meet both rules.

#### Accurate Provider Information

Ensures provider information stays consistent and up to date across all networks with automated updates.

### Reduce Enrollment Risk

Avoids Medicare Plan Finder suppression with a solution designed to meet CMS-4208-F2 requirements before the October 2026 deadline.

### Attest With Confidence

Gives executives a reliable foundation to sign off on the accuracy of the provider directory with confidence.

### Better Access to Care

Makes it easier for members and providers to find in-network options, supporting referrals, care coordination, and informed enrollment decisions.

1upHealth has done well with their service and attention to detail. I have a team of people from the vendor that I talk to regularly, and they are just open books.

## FAQs

**What data must be included?**  
All CMS-regulated payers must include the provider name, network status, address, phone number, and specialty for in-network providers.

All Medicare Advantage prescription drug plans (MA-PD) must include pharmacy name, address, phone number, network count, and pharmacy type for in-network pharmacies.

**How often is provider data updated?**  
Provider data is updated within CMS-required timeframes after changes are received (within 30 days).

**Does the 1up Provider Directory support third-party applications?**  
Yes. The standardized FHIR format allows developers to build apps that help members find and compare providers.

**How does CMS-4208-F2 Medicare Plan Finder impact Provider Directory?**  
CMS-4208-F2 requires Medicare Advantage plans to submit provider directory data to Medicare.gov’s Plan Finder by October 1, 2026, via a public FHIR® API or machine-readable file.

Plans must support a centralized patient search experience and CMS-operated provider lookup tools, maintain traceable relationships from MA plan to network to providers and facilities using contract-plan-segment IDs, and complete an annual executive attestation for provider directory accuracy. Non-compliance risks suppression in the Medicare Plan Finder during open enrollment.

1up Provider Directory provides accurate, standardized provider data that health plans need to meet CMS-4208-F2 requirements, support Medicare Plan Finder submissions, and give executives a reliable foundation for annual attestation.
