Stedi now has a direct connection to [Zelis](https://www.zelis.com/), a multi-payer provider platform.

Many payers use Zelis as their primary way of delivering 835 Electronic Remittance Advice (ERA) files through clearinghouses to providers.

To receive ERAs from Zelis, providers must set up an account in the Zelis portal. This involves selecting a clearinghouse from a prepopulated list. Previously, providers using Stedi had to select an intermediary clearinghouse in order to receive ERAs.

With Stedi’s new direct Zelis connection, you can now choose Stedi from the list of integrated clearinghouses. Once set up, you’ll automatically receive ERAs from all Zelis-connected payers directly through Stedi.

For an example, see the ERA transaction enrollment steps for [United Healthcare Dental](https://enrollments.stedi.com/United-Healthcare-Dental-1a7685bc14df80319cf1d041b0e929da#1d1685bc14df80eaab19fd3062f17ca7).

## New Zelis enrollments

To submit new enrollment requests, use the [Enrollments API](https://www.stedi.com/docs/healthcare/api-reference/post-enrollment-create-enrollment), [UI](https://portal.stedi.com/app/healthcare/enrollments/create), or a [bulk CSV import](https://portal.stedi.com/app/healthcare/enrollments/bulk). For Zelis-connected payers, we’ll instruct you to select Stedi as the clearinghouse in Zelis when needed.

## Existing Zelis enrollments

If you previously submitted a Stedi enrollment for a Zelis-connected payer, you can log into Zelis and select Stedi as the clearinghouse to transition to Stedi’s direct Zelis connection without any interruption or downtime.
