Hi there!

According to the specification at
https://github.com/CMSgov/QHP-provider-formulary-APIs/tree/2017-changes#user-content-schema-1 the group type does not have any remarks about specialty being a required field. In fact it does not have any specialty field defined whatsoever.

The schema/2017 branch validates groups with a required specialty field, which makes sense to me but I can't find any other artifacts/information supporting this interpretation of the spec.

Can someone clarify if it's correct to interpret specialty as required for groups?

Relevant issue in the QHP repo:
CMSgov/QHP-provider-formulary-APIs#27

NPI type 1 -> INDIVIDUAL
NPI type 2 -> GROUP + FACILITY

Requires NPPES database

Is there a public directory of JSON files submitted to CMS?

The spec and examples show that the last_updated_on property should be present on both types of providers (individuals and facilities).

Currently the providers_schema.json only enforces a last_updated_on property on individuals. Facilities without a last_update_on property will pass validation.
