Professional Claims
This endpoint sends 837P (professional) claims to payers. Visit Submit claims for a full how-to guide.
- Call this endpoint with a JSON payload.
- Stedi translates your request to the 837 X12 EDI format and sends it to the payer.
- The endpoint returns a response from Stedi in JSON format containing information about the claim you submitted and whether the submission was successful.
This endpoint is a direct replacement for the Change Healthcare (CHC) Claim Submission API.
Enable clearinghouse
Before you can send claims, you must enable the Stedi clearinghouse in your account. Go to EDI Settings and click Enable Stedi Clearinghouse.
Stedi automatically configures the necessary settings to send test and production claims and receive 277 and 835 payer responses.
Identify service lines
A claim can contain multiple service lines. Since the payer may accept, reject, or pay a subset of those lines, you can receive an 835 response that references a patientControlNumber
, but only pertains to some of the service lines.
Therefore, even though it is technically an optional field, we strongly recommend including the provider control number as a unique identifier for each service line in your claim submission. This value appears in the 835 response as the lineItemControlNumber
, allowing you to correlate the 835 response to the specific service lines from the original claim.
Test claims
To send test claims:
- Set the
Stedi-Partnership-Id
header tolocal-clearinghouse-test
. Stedi processes your payload as a test claim and doesn’t send it to the payer. - Set the
Stedi-Transaction-Setting-Id
header to005010X222A1-837
. - Set the
usageIndicator
field in the test claim toT
. This allows you to filter for test claims on the Transactions page in the Stedi app.
Note that you will receive a 277 Claim Acknowledgment in response to test claims, allowing you to test your workflow end to end, but you will not receive a test 835 (ERA) response.
