# Add a payer to a facility's roster

> Record which payers a facility contracts with (and the network status).

The roster is the foundation for facility-specific prior-auth resolution:
by-CCN PA checks consult this roster and any facility overrides. Idempotent
on (facility, payer) — posting the same payer again updates the entry.
