Overview

Product Overview

Prior Authorization API is a public API that accepts prior authorization inquiry and submission requests in the standard form of EDI X12 278X215 and EDI X12 278/217 payloads, formatted in JSON for HTTP request, and returns EDI-X12 payer response to the consumer. Our API makes prior authorization inquiry and submission more accessible to developers and allows providers systems to expand their functionality while efficiently return the payer status accurately.
