Product: ERAs & transaction enrollment

You can now see how long – minutes, hours, days, or weeks – it takes for an enrollment to go from submission to live with a payer in the [Stedi Payer Network](https://www.stedi.com/healthcare/network) or the [Payers API](https://www.stedi.com/docs/healthcare/api-reference/get-search-payers).

**Payer Network**  
In the [Stedi Payer Network](https://www.stedi.com/healthcare/network), enrollment timeframes are shown in the Payer pane, in the **Activation Timeframe** field for the transaction type:

**Activation Timeframe** fields are also listed on the Payer page:

A value of **Instant** means the enrollment typically goes live within minutes of submission. Other values, like **Hours** or **Days**, indicate how long the process usually takes.

**Payers API**  
In Payers API responses, each payer object lists enrollment details, if any, for each transaction type under `transactionEnrollmentProcesses`. The `timeframe` field shows the expected enrollment timeline for the transaction type.

```jsonc
{
  "payer": {    "displayName": "Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan",
    "primaryPayerId": "00710",
    "enrollment": {
      "ptanRequired": false,
      "transactionEnrollmentProcesses": {
        "claimPayment": {                  // This payer requires enrollment for ERAs.
          "timeframe": "INSTANT",          // ERA enrollment typically takes minutes.
          "type": "ONE_CLICK"
        }
      }
    },
    ...
  }
}
```
