Product description

ZipCodeAPI is an easy and reliable way to get the distance between zip codes. The distance can be in miles or kilometers. The API can convert a zip code to the primary location for the zip code. This includes the city, state, latitude, longitude, time zone information, and Numbering Plan Areas (NPA) area codes for the primary location.

How we use ZIPCodeAPI at VA

This is an Application Programming Interface (API) that enables eBenefits to utilize location data to identify VA health centers and VSOs based on the Veterans’ zip code.

No VA Data

For SaaS products that do not contain VA-owned data*, there is now an expedited process that does not require a traditional VA authority to operate (ATO). Criteria include the following:

  • User owns a device (even if VA paid for the purchase of the device) such as a CPAP or glucometer that uses a SaaS product to share patient data (non-VA data*).
  • SaaS product has no direct connections or interfaces to VA systems or network.
  • Users consent to share their data (which may include PII and PHI) directly with the SaaS provider.
  • SaaS providers must have published terms and conditions for user consent.
  • VA providers access data in a view-only mode or with limited functionality per the user’s consent.

*According to Circular a130, anything that VA creates, collects, processes, maintains, disseminates, or disposes of by or for the federal government is considered federal information (VA data).

VA providers may not enter any VA information into this product; it must adhere to no VA data standards mentioned above.

The next step

If VA employees would like to use or purchase this previously approved service, please submit a SaaS inquiry form to confirm your use case and get procurement approval.
