Optum

Optum, part of UnitedHealth Group, is a health services and technology company that operates one of the largest medical, dental and pharmacy networks in the United States and runs the clearinghouse formerly known as Change Healthcare.

Every API is secured with an OAuth2 client-credentials JWT bearer token over TLS 1.2+, with a free canned-response sandbox on a separate host. Optum also publishes an RFC 9727 API catalog at /.well-known/api-catalog, which is how the 59 OpenAPI documents in this repo were harvested.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Health regime, so Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite. If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your provider repo — the applicability map is public and we will correct it.

The six quality facets above are damped to 85 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 15. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 85% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.

Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/optum: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.
