You can now submit paper claims through Stedi. Some payers don't accept electronic claims. Payers may also require paper claims for workers’ compensation, automobile, or liability-related claims. Previously, that meant you had to print and mail those claims yourself – outside your normal electronic claims workflow. With this release, you can now submit paper claims using the same Stedi APIs, SFTP, or portal UI that you use for your electronic claims. After submission, we print the claim and mail it to the payer for you. To learn more, check out our announcement blog. Link below.

Stedi now has a claim edit for claims missing the total claim charge amount. A claim's total charge amount is the full dollar amount a provider bills for a claim, before adjustments or payments. It should equal the sum of the claim's individual service line charges. Payers use it to check a claim's math. If you submit a claim without a total charge amount, the payer may reject it. That can delay payment for the provider. This claim edit catches the issue before the claim reaches the payer. It covers professional, dental, and institutional claims. More details in the changelog. Link below.

You can now view professional claims in the Stedi portal in a read-only CMS-1500 form layout. If you use the Stedi portal’s CMS-1500 form to submit professional claims, you can now view a claim in the same form you used to submit it. The CMS-1500, also called the HCFA, is the standard form for submitting professional medical claims. A claim opened from the portal renders in a read-only layout that mirrors that form, the same one used to submit it. Previously, the Stedi portal rendered professional claims in a Stedi-specific layout that didn't resemble the submission form. More details in the changelog. Link below.

We just wrapped up Stedi's first Platform Partner Demo Day. If you missed it, seven Stedi Platform Partners demoed RCM functionality they've built on Stedi's APIs – live, to an online audience of developers, operators, and investors working in healthcare. Here was the lineup: - Ayo Omojola @ Substrate: AI agents for denials - Dilan Ozkaynak @ Tennr: Eligibility at intake - Rahul Naidoo @ Superscript: Guaranteed upfront patient pricing - Ishan Balakrishnan @ Cair Health: Multi-agent eligibility, coding, and claim submission - Kashyap Purani @ Veribrance: Procedure-level benefits verification and estimates - Aidan McCarty @ Verified: One-click patient onboarding - Aman Arora and Shubham Vashist @ Neuriphy: Autonomous financial clearance and appeals Check out the full recap, including videos, on our blog. All videos, with individual demos, are on our YouTube channel. Links below.

You can now submit claims as raw 837 X12 EDI files in the Stedi portal's claims view. 837P professional, 837D dental, and 837I institutional claims are supported. Upload a .edi file, or paste your X12 directly into the editor. The editor checks your claim against the X12 spec and flags structural errors so you can fix them before submitting. More details in the changelog. Link below.

We're hosting the first Stedi Platform Partner Demo Day – a 60-minute, live, online event – today (Jun 2) at 3pm ET/12pm PT. Each of these Stedi Platform Partners will present a 5-minute demo covering what they've shipped using Stedi: Substrate – Real-time claim status agents Tennr – Referral management platform Superscript – Guaranteed patient pricing Cair Health – AI agents for eligibility checks and claims submission Veribrance – Patient cost estimates Verified – One-click patient onboarding Neuriphy – Financial clearance and denial management There will be a short Q&A at the end. If you haven't registered to watch yet, sign up. It's online and completely free. Link below.

Stedi now has pay-as-you-go pricing for all new production accounts. You pay only for the transactions you use. There are no monthly minimums or setup fees. Previously, production API and SFTP access required a $500 monthly minimum. That meant committing to transaction volume each month, even if you didn't use it. The minimum priced out startups, practices, and solo developers who wanted to move from prototype to production without a commitment. Now they can. Developers and coding agents can build and test in a free sandbox account using test API keys, then upgrade to production in account settings and swap in a production API key. And you can start with a balance as low as $100. Your costs are 100% usage-based, with automatic discounts for higher monthly volumes. More details in the announcement blog. Link below.

We've finalized the lineup for our first Stedi Platform Partner Demo Day on Jun 2 at 3pm ET/12pm PT. These Stedi Platform Partners and others will demo what they've built: - Cair Health – AI agents for scheduling and denials - Substrate AI – Real-time claim status agent - Tennr – Referral management - Veribrance (formerly Aarogram) – Patient cost estimates Each demo runs five minutes, followed by a short Q&A. You can register to watch at the link below. The event is free.

We now have a claim edit for negative service unit counts. In a claim, a service line represents billing for a specific service, such as an office visit, lab test, or therapy session. A service unit count is the number of units for a service line. The meaning of a unit depends on the procedure code. For example, four units of a 15-minute therapy code equal one hour. X12 standards require these counts to be zero or higher. Submit a claim with a negative count and the payer rejects it. That slows down payment for the provider. This claim edit catches the issue before the claim leaves Stedi. More details in the changelog. Link below.
