Organization

GET https://api.flexpa.com/fhir/Organization

Organization is a supporting FHIR resource that is used to represent a payer, provider, or other organization.

In contrast to many of the other resources in the Flexpa that are patient-specific, it serves as a foundational resource that supports the clinical and financial resources in the API. For instance, an ExplanationOfBenefit may have been issued by a particular payer Organization.

As a result, Organization is most often used as part of an include parameter in a search request to retrieve the related resources or is accessed via a read with a specific FHIR resource ID obtained from a financial or clinical resource.

function filterByOfficialNPPESData(element: Element) {
  return element.extension.some(
    (extension) => extension.extension.some(
