Our [Professional Claims API](https://www.stedi.com/docs/healthcare/api-reference/post-healthcare-claims) now automatically replaces non-Latin characters with their Latin equivalents.

Claim submissions with non-conforming characters are a common cause of 999 rejections from the payer. The new autocorrect feature will help reduce these types of errors and the (often significant) time and manual work it takes to fix them.
