CMS-1500 PDF: Business Identifier

Retrieve a Stedi generatedCMS-1500 Claim Form PDF for a submitted 837P (professional) claim by business identifier

GET /export/pdf

This endpoint uses a business identifier to retrieve autogenerated CMS-1500 Claim Form PDFs for submitted 837P professional claims.

1. Call this endpoint with the businessId query parameter set to the claim's correlation ID. The correlation ID is returned as the claimReference.correlationId in the synchronous response Stedi returns when you submit a professional claim.
2. The endpoint returns an array of PDFs for all claims with the specified businessId value. PDFs are returned as a base64 encoded string.

To view a PDF, decode the base64 string and save it to a file with a .pdf extension.

This endpoint isn't compatible with the Create Professional Claim (CMS-1500) JSON endpoint. You can use it with the Professional Claims (837P) JSON - Legacy and Professional Claims (837P) Raw X12 endpoints.
