Stedi achieves HITRUST e1 Certification

Stedi is now e1 certified by the HITRUST for foundational cybersecurity.

HITRUST e1 Certification demonstrates that Stedi’s healthcare clearinghouse platform is focused on the most critical controls to demonstrate that essential cybersecurity hygiene is in place. The e1 assessment is one of three progressive HITRUST assessments that leverage the HITRUST Framework (HITRUST CSF) to prescribe cyber threat adaptive controls that are appropriate for each assurance type.

Introducing Stedi’s CAQH CORE SOAP endpoint for real-time eligibility

You can now run real-time eligibility checks using our CAQH CORE–compliant SOAP API endpoint.

Most Stedi customers use our JSON API for real-time eligibility. But if you're already using CAQH CORE SOAP, this new endpoint is the fastest way to start running eligibility checks with Stedi.

The endpoint supports CAQH CORE Connectivity Rule vC2.2.0. We plan to support CAQH CORE Connectivity Rule vC4.0.0 as industry adoption increases.

For complete details, see our documentation.

Introducing the Retrieve Payer API endpoint

You can now use the Retrieve Payer API endpoint to get a single payer record by its Stedi payer ID:

curl --request GET \
  --url https://healthcare.us.stedi.com/2024-04-01/payer/{stediId} \
  --header 'Authorization: <api-key>'

The endpoint returns the same payer information as our existing JSON-based Payer API endpoints: payer ID, name, payer ID aliases, transaction support, enrollment requirements, and more. Just for a single payer.

For more information, see the Stedi docs and the announcement blog.

Introducing delegated signature authority for enrollment forms

You can now authorize Stedi to sign enrollment forms for you using delegated signature authority, eliminating over 90% of your team’s enrollment paperwork.

Delegated signature authority is available to all Stedi customers. To get started, reach out to Stedi support.

For more details, see the blog.

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

For more details, see the blog.

Introducing the List Payers CSV API

You can now use the List Payers CSV API to get a full list of Stedi’s supported payers in CSV format:

curl --request GET \
  --url https://healthcare.us.stedi.com/2024-04-01/payers/csv \
  --header 'Authorization: <api-key>'

The CSV includes the same data as the Stedi Payer Network UI and other JSON-based Payer APIs:

  • Payer IDs

  • Transaction support flags

  • Transaction enrollment requirements, and more.

For complete details, see the List Payers CSV API docs.

Introducing email notifications for transaction enrollment updates

When the status of a transaction enrollment request changes, Stedi now sends you an automated email.

No setup is needed. These email notifications replace our previous manual notification process.

If an enrollment requires action on your part, we’ll continue to reach out to you via Slack or email with next steps.
