You can now see whether a payer supports medical or dental transactions using the [Payers API](https://www.stedi.com/docs/healthcare/api-reference/get-search-payers) and [Stedi Payer Network](https://www.stedi.com/healthcare/network).

Every payer in the network now includes a `coverageTypes` field in responses from [Payers API endpoints](https://www.stedi.com/docs/healthcare/api-reference/get-search-payers). For example, in JSON responses:

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

If you’re using the [Search Payers API endpoint](https://www.stedi.com/docs/healthcare/api-reference/get-search-payers), you can also filter by coverage type. Example:

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