SAIF.Business.Provider is a .NET Framework BOF component library that owns provider-domain business objects, Oracle persistence rules, and a companion API integration layer for ContactManager and ClaimCenter.

Purpose

• Execute provider-domain CRUD and lookup behavior through BOF data-portal criteria backed by Oracle SQL.
• Translate selected provider-domain changes into outbound ContactManager and ClaimCenter API requests.

Responsibilities

• Maintain the authoritative provider-domain mapping to Oracle tables such as PROVIDER, PROVIDER_LOCATION, PROVIDER_ADDRESS, PROVIDER_TAX_ID, and PROVIDER_RELATIONSHIP.
• Apply provider-domain validation rules before persistence, including search, address, contact, relationship, and tax-ID validation.
• Normalize provider addresses through CleanAddressHelper before address and TIN persistence.
• Publish adapter classes and DTOs for ContactManager and ClaimCenter integration paths.
