Short answer: "Year-Month-Day", or CCYY-MM-DD
Longer answer: The Healthcare Finder API uses XML Schema to define the API schema..
So a line like <xs:element name="InsuranceEffectiveDate" type="xs:date"/>
indicates that you should format the value according to XML Schema. This is a reference page for the date type
(the reference to xsd:date
on the linked page instead of xs:date
as specified in the API schema document is a minor style choice, and not a cause for concern.)
