Vendor testing to support faster, simpler participant onboarding

What is Product Testing?

Product testing is available to health IT vendors who want their product validated by eHealth Exchange. Validated products help reduce certain testing requirements and fees for new participants that choose to onboard using that product.

How to Get Started

  • 1 Submit the Product Testing Application and Product Testing Services Agreement
  • 2 Attend a kickoff call to review testing resources and requirements
  • 3 Complete all required tests

Validated Seal

After successful testing, your product earns the eHealth Exchange Validated seal you can use in marketing and sales materials.

Why It Matters

Earning an eHealth Exchange Validated Product designation is a mark of confidence that the product works reliably with the exchange standards.  

Being a Validated Product means:

  • Your product has passed a defined set of conformance and interoperability tests required by eHealth Exchange.
  • Organizations that onboard using your product can skip some security tests and pay lower testing fees during Participant Testing — saving time and cost.
  • Your product is recognized by eHealth Exchange and featured in the public Validated Products list.
