Product: Real-time claim status

Stedi’s Claim Status endpoint directly replaces the Change Healthcare (CHC) [Claim Status API](https://developer.optum.com/eligibilityandclaims/reference/medical-network-claims-status-v2-overview-1). You can use it to check the status of an existing claim.

- Call Stedi’s endpoint with a JSON payload in the [CHC 276 Claim Status format](https://developer.optum.com/eligibilityandclaims/docs/contents-of-the-claim-status-api-request).

- Stedi automatically maps CHC payer IDs to our IDs.

- Stedi translates the JSON to the X12 EDI 276 format and delivers it to the payer or peer clearinghouse.

- The endpoint returns a synchronous 277 response in the [CHC Claim Status response](https://developer.optum.com/eligibilityandclaims/docs/contents-of-the-claim-status-response-body) JSON format.
