Introducing medical and dental coverage filters for the Payers API

You can now see whether a payer supports medical or dental transactions using the Payers API and Stedi Payer Network.

Every payer in the network now includes a coverageTypes field in responses from Payers API endpoints. For example, in JSON responses:

{
  "items": [
    {
      "displayName": "Blue Cross Blue Shield of North Carolina",
      "primaryPayerId": "BCSNC",
      ...
      "coverageTypes": ["dental"]
      ...
    }
  ]
}

If you’re using the Search Payers API endpoint, you can also filter by coverage type. Example:

GET /payers/search?query=blue+cross&coverageTypes=dental
