01 / THE TRIGGER
A practice changes a location, phone number, specialty, or network relationship, but public payer directories update on different schedules and staff cannot easily see which listings remain inconsistent.
Practice managers and credentialing teams search payer sites one by one, respond to repeated outreach, maintain spreadsheets, and often learn about a stale listing from a patient, referral source, or enrollment issue.
02 / SAMPLE OUTPUT
A useful answer before a sales form.
This preview shows the shape of the output with synthetic inputs. Nothing here is personalized advice or production evidence.

03 / HOW A PILOT WORKS
Test a narrow output
Use synthetic or explicitly approved sample data in a scoped report.
Decide with evidence
Continue only if the workflow helps and a buyer makes a commercial commitment.
04 / FIT
Built for a narrow buyer.
Worth a conversation if you are…
✓ Medical groups and credentialing teams maintaining multiple payer listings
✓ Practice operations teams responsible for demographic updates
✓ Consultants and MSOs monitoring public provider information
Not the right fit for…
— Network-status guarantees or enrollment decisions
— Clinical, patient, claims, or appointment data
— Automated changes to payer systems without review and authorization
05 / FOUNDING OFFER
A founding directory-diff report for up to 25 NPIs across a defined set of available public payer directories and NPPES, including discrepancies, evidence links, and a 90-day review log.
06 / WHAT IS TRUE TODAY
DirectoryDiff is a validation-stage public-record comparison concept, not a payer, credentialing authority, network-status source, or legal compliance service.
Directory availability, formats, terms, coverage, and update timing vary by payer; every connector requires separate technical and permitted-use review.
The public form accepts no patient data, claims, credentials, contracts, or confidential rosters. Applicability of HIPAA and other obligations depends on the final data flow and must be assessed before production use.
07 / STRAIGHT ANSWERS
Questions this test must answer.
Can this prove that a provider is in network?+
No. It reports what reviewed public sources display at a point in time; the payer and governing contract remain authoritative.
Are all payer directories available through the same API?+
No. CMS requires certain impacted payers to offer public Provider Directory APIs, while coverage and implementations differ. The experiment tests which sources buyers need first.
Will it submit corrections automatically?+
Not during validation. The proposed first output is a human-reviewed discrepancy and evidence log.
