Body

The more demographic information you can provide about a Patient, the higher chances Metriport will be able to find a match previously created in Metriport. For example: nicknames, old addresses, multiple phone numbers, a pre-marital last name, etc.

You may provide a comma/space delimited string to specify multiple first and last names. For example, the following inputs would be equivalent: "John,Jonathan" & "John Jonathan" - these would translate to ["John", "Jonathan"].
