Built-in claim validation

Stedi validates every claim against a database of edits and repairs, catching – and where possible fixing – errors before they reach the payer.

Our edits cover all SNIP Types, including payer-specific SNIP Type 7 edits. We ship new edits weekly. See our changelog for the latest.

New Stedi customers typically see first-pass acceptance rates start at ~85% at onboarding, with 95% for mature customers and rates exceeding 99% at scale.

“We submitted claims three days after signing, and the support is excellent in quality and timeliness of response. For example, Stedi's team—including their CEO—regularly resolves our engineers’ issues within minutes. This used to take months or just never happen at all with our previous vendor.”
