Update Provider

Updates an existing provider's information. Note that NPI and tax ID cannot be changed after creation.

POST /providers/{providerId}

This is a beta endpoint. We may make backwards incompatible changes.

This endpoint allows you to update information for an existing provider. For example, you may want to add an additional contact.

Please note:

• Calling this endpoint completely overwrites the previous request record. You must provide all the information for the provider in the request, not just the properties you want to update.
• Updating a provider record doesn't affect associated enrollments that are in SUBMITTED, PROVISIONING or LIVE status. If you need to update the provider details for an enrollment with these statuses, contact support.
