Stedi Agent

The Stedi Agent is an AI assistant that helps you resolve common issues with eligibility checks and answers questions about supported payers.

The Stedi Agent is available in the Stedi portal for all plans. To use it, you must be at least an Operator role within your Stedi account.

Resolve failed eligibility checks

You can use the Stedi Agent to troubleshoot and resolve common recoverable eligibility check errors automatically.

To resolve an eligibility check failure with the Stedi Agent:

1. Go to the Eligibility searches page.
2. Click Resolve with Stedi Agent next to an eligibility search. This is button is only available next to eligibility searches with common recoverable errors.
3. The Stedi Agent opens a side panel in Debug view.
4. The Stedi Agent analyzes the eligibility request and works through best practice recovery strategies based on the error type. For example, if the payer returned an error code 75 (Subscriber/Insured Not Found), the agent may try different combinations of patient data or adjust the name format to find a match in the payer's system.

Each time the agent retries the eligibility check, it stores the new request in the same eligibility search record and it shows up in Debug view in real time. This allows you to see the history of attempts and the progression of the agent's troubleshooting efforts.

The agent only accesses data from the eligibility search it's working on. It can't access data from other searches, customers, or systems.

Get payer details

The Stedi Agent can answer your questions about supported payers. It can help you:

• Find the payer ID for supported payers.
• Map your internal payer names to Stedi's supported payers.
• Determine which payers require transaction enrollment.
• Identify which payers support medical, dental, or both use cases.
• Get help with other payer-related questions.

To start chatting with the Stedi Agent:

1. Go to the Chats page in the Stedi portal.
2. Click New chat and select Payer Finder.
3. Type your question in the chat window and press Enter. For example, you could ask "What is the payer ID for Aetna?" or "Does Cigna support dental use cases?" You can also ask more complex questions, like "Which payers support dental use cases and require transaction enrollment?" Talk to Stedi Agent like you would a human support agent.
4. Ask follow-up questions as needed. You can ask multiple questions about different payers in the same chat.

The Stedi Agent will respond to your questions and display its answers in the chat window.
