Create Enrollment
This endpoint allows you to submit an enrollment request to Stedi. It’s especially useful when you need to submit bulk enrollments for many providers at once, or if you want to embed enrollment capabilities into your own software platform.
Before you can submit an enrollment request, you must add the provider’s details through either the Providers page or the Create Provider endpoint. Then, you must create one enrollment request for each transaction type. For example, you would create three separate requests to enroll a provider for 837P claims (professional), 270 real-time eligibility checks, and 835 ERAs (claim payments).
Once submitted, Stedi handles the entire enrollment process for you, including submitting the enrollment to the payer, following up as needed, and giving clear guidance for any additional steps that might be required.
After you submit an enrollment request, you can review its details and status on the Enrollments page in Stedi. Alternatively, you can retrieve enrollment details programmatically using the Get Enrollment and List Enrollments endpoints.
What is enrollment?
Some payers require enrollment before they will accept transactions, such as claims and eligibility checks, and before they will send you claim payments (ERAs). Enrollment involves submitting information about the provider that will send or receive transactions, including the provider’s name, tax ID, NPI, billing address, and contact information.
Visit Enrollment for more details.
You can find out if a payer requires enrollment for a particular transaction type in the Stedi Payer Network.
Enrollment status
You can submit enrollment requests with either DRAFT or SUBMITTED status. Once an enrollment is set to SUBMITTED, only Stedi can set or update its status.
Stedi changes the status to PROVISIONING when we begin the enrollment process with the payer.
When an enrollment status is set to LIVE, the provider can start exchanging the enrolled transaction type with the payer.
Contacts
You must add a contact to an enrollment request. The payer may reach out to this contact with updates or questions about the enrollment. If you’re a provider, this should be your information. If you’re a vendor representing a provider, you can submit your contact information instead of the provider’s information.
