Create Provider
This endpoint allows you to create a provider record with the details required for enrollment. You must complete this step before you can enroll the provider with one or more payers through the Enrollments page or the Create Enrollment endpoint.
All providers you create through this endpoint are also available on the Providers page in Stedi for you to review and manage.
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.
Contacts
You can add one or more contacts to a provider record. When creating an enrollment request in Stedi, you must select one of these contacts as the primary contact. However, if you plan to add enrollments through the Create Enrollment endpoint, you can provide the primary contact in that request instead.
The payer may reach out to the designated 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.
