Stedi

This edit applies to all claim types – 837P professional, 837D dental, and 837I institutional claims. For more details, check out the changelog: stedi.com/changelog/new-…

Stedi has a new claim edit for invalid NPIs. An NPI is the unique identifier assigned to every U.S. healthcare provider. It's always 10 digits. If a claim includes an NPI that’s too short or too long – the payer may reject the claim. That can cost the provider time in delayed payments and resubmissions. This claim edit catches the issue before the claim leaves Stedi. More details in the changelog. Link below.

Stedi now rejects claims with a patient control number (PCN) longer than 20 characters. A PCN is a tracking ID you assign when submitting a claim. Payers return it in every acknowledgment, ERA, and status check. X12 standards – required by HIPAA – limit PCNs to 20 characters. If yours is longer, the payer may reject the claim days after submission. That delays payment for the provider. This claim edit catches the issue before the claim reaches the payer. More details in the changelog. Link below.

A new episode of our Understanding Healthcare podcast is out. In this one, Stedi CEO @zackkanter spoke with Dr. Will Morris, Chief Medical Officer at Tennr, about patient referrals. When your doctor hands you a piece of paper and says "go get an MRI," you enter what Will calls "the black hole abyss." As Will explains in this clip, referrals are one of those rare problems where all incentives are aligned. The patient, the payer, and providers benefit by solving it. And yet most referrals never get fulfilled. Link to the full episode below.

You can now use Stedi's Transaction Enrollment API or the Stedi portal to complete PDF forms for transaction enrollment. Some payers require providers to fill out PDF forms to complete transaction enrollment. Think of things like legal agreements, W-9s, or bank forms for EFT. Now you can download, complete, and upload them directly through the API or portal. If you're building an EHR, RCM, or practice management platform, you can surface these forms directly in your UI. More details in the changelog. Link below.

Stedi now rejects claims with invalid future dates. Each claim includes a transaction date – the date the claim was submitted. Providers always submit claims after care is provided. That means other dates in the claim, such as dates of service, statement periods, and accident dates, should always occur on or before the transaction date. Future dates indicate a data entry error. This claim edit catches those errors before they reach the payer. More details in the changelog. Link below.

Stedi app developers can now share co-branded signup links with their providers. The signup page is branded with your app's name and logo.

Changelog: stedi.com/changelog/new-…

Stedi now rejects claims with an invalid NDC format. HIPAA-adopted X12 standards state that, in claims, National Drug Codes (NDCs) must be exactly 11 digits. If the format is wrong – say the NDC is too short or too long – the payer may reject the claim. That rejection can delay payment for the provider. This new claim edit catches the issue before the claim ever reaches the payer. More details in the changelog. Link below.

How to switch to Stedi: stedi.com/blog/how-to-sw…

We published a new guide on switching to Stedi from another healthcare clearinghouse. When you change clearinghouses, most things stay the same: credentialing, payer contracts, claim history. Transaction enrollment for ERAs is the real bottleneck. To make it easier and faster, Stedi offers fully managed, API-based transaction enrollment. Where possible, we handle the enrollment paperwork (and bottlenecks) for you – for free. More details in the blog. Link below.
