Clearinghouse API Integration: Choosing and Connecting
A clearinghouse is the hub between your practice and payers. MedXFlow connects to clearinghouses to submit claims, pull remittances and check status automatically, across your full payer mix.
What the clearinghouse connection carries
- 837 claim submission to every payer and clearinghouse, with paper fallback where required.
- 835/ERA remittance retrieval for automated payment posting.
- 270/271 eligibility checks and 276/277 claim-status polling.
- 999 and 277CA acknowledgement reconciliation so no claim silently disappears.
Choosing and connecting
The right clearinghouse depends on your payer mix, EDI support and reporting needs. MedXFlow works across major clearinghouses and reconciles acknowledgements so front-end rejections are caught and corrected automatically rather than discovered weeks later.
Frequently asked questions
What does a clearinghouse API do in RCM?
It carries the EDI transactions between your practice and payers: 837 claims out, 835 remittances back, 270/271 eligibility and 276/277 status. MedXFlow connects to clearinghouses to run these automatically and reconcile acknowledgements.
