# Q2 - 2026 API Documentation and Gitbook Integration Guides will be updated alongside product release. * Quote * [Quote Watch](#quote-watch) * [v9 Group Quoting - Combined Rates and Limiting Factors](#v9-group-quoting-combined-rates-and-limiting-factors) * Select * [Network Watch - Provider Search Tool](#network-watch-provider-search-tool) * [Provider TIN Associations](#provider-tin-associations) * [Provider Search API - Sort & Filter Features](#provider-search-api-sort-and-filter-features) ## Quote ### Quote Watch Estimated Release: July 2026 Quote Watch is a new self-serve dashboard, available to all IdeonQuote customers. It significantly enhances the data availability information shown currently in PlanWatch. Customers will be able to log in and see exactly where their quote data stands, when it was last updated, and be notified when meaningful changes are made to benefits, rates, or service areas. The Data Availability view shows publishing status at the carrier and issuer level — including whether plans are fully released, partially released, embargoed, in processing, or still being acquired — alongside key data points like current and prior plan year release dates, SBC attachment percentage, and detailed benefit build status. Views are available across products including Medical (IFP and SG), Ancillary, and Level Funded, with filtering options to show only the data each customer is licensed to access. The Data Update Feed surfaces significant data changes that meet a defined threshold of scope and severity — such as rate refiling, benefit updates affecting a large share of plans, or service area changes. Each update includes a summary, the scope of plans and issuers affected, the components updated (benefits, rates, and/or service areas), and a detailed description from Ideon's operations team. Updates are automatically filtered to each customer's licensed products and states. Access to Quote Watch is restricted to employees of licensed IdeonQuote customers. No broker or public access is available. ### v9 Group Quoting - Combined Rates and Limiting Factors Estimated Release: May 2026 {% hint style="info" %} The [Small Group Medical](/quote-and-select/quote-groups/small-group-medical.md) and [Level Funded Quoting](/quote-and-select/quote-groups/level-funded.md) sections have been updated to reflect the v9 endpoint schemas and integration workflows. The technical API docs will continue to document v8 versions of endpoints until v9 is officially released. {% endhint %} The v9 group quoting endpoints give users a complete set of results in a single quote — premiums and eligibility issues are returned side by side, with no re-quoting required. Previously, plans with eligibility errors were excluded from the rates response entirely. In v9, all plans for which the group are within the service area for will be returned with premiums. Any eligibility errors flagging group- or member-level issues are surfaced alongside premiums. This enables developers to build integrations that deliver premiums and eligibility warnings to end-users from any given single quote. The v9 group quoting endpoints will also introduce various other enhancements to the quoting workflow, including: * Plain-english messages for eligibility warnings in addition to the standardized limiting factor codes. * An indicator for the source of the eligibility warning - Ideon's configured business rules or a carrier's API, for example. * Increased maximum pagination limits for the get rates for a quote endpoint. * Enhanced quote progress statuses, including a summary of the carriers that Ideon is attempting to quote for the group and their relative status. ## Select ### Network Watch - Provider Search Tool Estimated Release: May 2026 The Provider Search Tool will be added to Network Watch - a fully interactive way to explore Ideon's provider-network dataset without any API calls or file processing. Any Network Watch user can search, browse, and review provider and network data directly in the UI. The tool is backed by Ideon's Provider Search API and provider-network dataset - the data returned in this UI will match the data available through API or bulk file integrations. Users will be able to search by provider name, geography, specialty, and network participation, with results displayed as paginated cards and plotted on a map. Additional provider information, such as other participating addresses and group or hospital affiliations, will be available as well. Additionally, we'll be adding data to further enhance visibility into Ideon's network data and operations. * Lists of replacement networks, if applicable, for networks that have expiration alerts. * Plan-network mapping exports for ACA Medical and Medicare Advantage - download CSVs with unique plan IDs and Ideon network IDs. * Data points available for the network - are fields such as the PCP flag, PCP ID, acception new patients, and more populated for each network based on carrier source data availability? ### Provider TIN Associations Estimated Release: June 2026 Ideon's provider-network dataset will include Tax Identification Numbers (TINs) and CMS Certification Numbers (CCNs) for individual and organizational providers. TINs will allow customers to group facility NPIs under a shared billing entity — a critical link for anyone working with cost transparency data, network adequacy analysis, or payer machine- readable files, where pricing is associated at the TIN level rather than the NPI level. CCNs will complement this by uniquely identifying hospital facilities for Medicare and regulatory purposes. Both data points will be available in Ideon's bulk provider-network files and API. ### Provider Search API - Sort & Filter Features Estimated Release: TBD {% hint style="info" %} In Q2, Ideon is prioritizing performance improvements to the Provider Search API. These will significantly improve the latency of the endpoint and consistency of performance during peak usage times. Metrics highlighting the improvements made and expected outcomes will be released in the coming months. The endpoint updates to Sort & Filter features outlined below are being pushed to the second half of 2026. {% endhint %} Ideon's Provider Search API is the most widely used endpoint across our platform, powering shop-by-doctor and care navigation workflows for 50+ customers. This release adds new filtering and sorting capabilities designed to give customers the control they need to build faster, more accurate provider search experiences for their end users - without extra processing on their end. Searches will be filterable by address confidence score, HealthCorum provider quality score, and common-language specialty groupings that match how end users think about care (e.g., "Primary Care" rather than taxonomy codes). Together, these additions make it easier to surface the right providers first — whether that means the closest, the highest quality, or those with the most reliable location data. Additionally, we'll be improving the relevancy and consistency of search results across a variety of use cases - identifying a provider with type-ahead search, organization and hospital searches, ZIP code-based geography filters, and much more. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
