ERA (835) and Claim (837) Viewer Release Notes
12/08/2024 (Paid Version)
There are several changes to the CSV output; see this post for details.
We’ve made multiple changes to improve rendering and screen layout for small screen sizes.
11/23/2024
We’ve added PatientBirthDate and PatientGender fields to the CSV output. Also added CheckOrEftTraceNumber to the list of key fields for CSV export.
11/09/2024
You can now export only the key fields from your 835 or 837 files.
10/10/2024
You can now view DRG code and the DRG weight on the 835 details screen.
09/30/2024
You can now see drugs (NDC codes) and revenue codes on the service line tab of the 835 details screen.
We rearranged the order of fields on 835 details, so all the dates are now shown next to each other.
The 835 details screen now shows the service date in the header.
You can now see DRG codes on the claim’s detail screen.
09/24/2024
We changed the left navigation menu so that the payment (ERA) analytics is next to the payment list menu item. Also fixed a minor issue with displaying the payer claim control number.
We also got rid of the generated identifier for patients when both a patient and a subscriber are on the claim.
09/13/2024
We now offer a new API for parsing/converting X12 EDI. This API can handle files and transactions of any size. The response is streamed to the client. The API can produce line-delimited JSON (ndjson) that can be handled effectively by the client.
09/02/2024
We’ve fixed an issue in our EDI parser code that resulted in an out-of-memory error for large 837 transactions. Our parser can now handle transactions with an unlimited number of claims. The fix was rolled out to our CLI tool and to APIs.
08/26/2024
Our CLI converter can now generate JSON files of any size. Previously, users have to use JSON Lines for large files.
08/20/2024
We’ve released a new version of our Java parser with a simplified / more intuitive API.
08/16/2024
You can now filter claims by payers. We’ve also added a new report showing billed amounts and other metrics for payers based on 837 (claim) data.
08/13/2024
We’ve tweaked the 835/837 CSV layout to make it more complete:
- Added fields for the corrected patient/insured name in 835. Sometimes, payers use these fields to provide an updated member ID.
- Increased the number of columns for adjustments and remarks from three to five. In some cases, ERAs can have more than three adjustments.
- Added support for multiple “other subscribers” in 837.
08/09/2024
- We’ve updated our EDI parser so it can now handle 837/835 transactions of any size. Some 837 transactions can contain many members and claims. An 835 transaction can contain many payments. There is now no limit on the number of items inside a transaction.
- We’ve fixed several issues related to parsing 837 transactions with multiple billing providers.
07/21/2024
- You can now export data from any analytics view (top reason codes, CPT codes, patients, etc.) as CSV.
- We’ve added filters for paid amounts and billed amounts. You can now search for payments and claims where paid/billed amounts are within a certain range. For example, enter 0 in both fields of the paid amount filter to view all remits with zero paid amounts.
07/15/2024
- We’ve added reports/analytics for patients (members) and payers for 835. You can also see top patients and payers in the dashboard.
- Your key metrics (total paid amount, billed amount, paid date range) are now correctly calculated for all filters, including text search. Previously, it only worked for a certain combination of filters, and it didn’t work with text search.
- You can now sort by multiple columns in all analytics views.
- Additional notifications for the full-text search
07/02/2024
ERA/835 Analytics
- You can now view adjustment reason codes and procedure codes by paid/billed amounts. Navigate to “Payment Analytics”/“Adj Codes” and select “Adj. Reason Code” or “Procedure” from the drop-down on the left. You’ll see aggregated billed/paid amounts by codes.
- You can also see your billed/paid amounts by month. Navigate to “Payment Analytics”/“Time Periods”.
- There is now a payment dashboard with key metrics for your remits on a single screen. Navigate to “Payment Analytics”/“Dashboard”.
Other Changes
- The date filter now uses paid dates instead of service dates
- We’ve added monthly and six-month periods to the date filter
- We’ve reorganized the grouping of fields on the payment details screen to make it more intuitive
- We’ve removed the payee column from the payment list screen to make more room for other fields.
Descriptions for CARC and RARC Codes (06/17/2024)
We now display descriptions for Claim Adjustment Reason Codes (CARC) and Remittance Advice Remark Codes (RARC) next to the code. In the paid version you can also search and filter by CARC/RARC codes.

Bug Fixes (11/30/2023)

Claim and Payment List Views (08/13/2023)
Please refer to this post
Header for the Claim and Payment Detail Views (08/08/2023)
We’ve added the header to the claim/payment details views. The header displays key fields, such as billed amount, service dates, place of service, etc.
We’ve also changed the look and feel of grids used for diagnosis, UB codes and adjustments. The grids now support multi-column sorting.
Payer/Payee Contacts and Additional Identifiers (07/31/2023)
The viewer now properly displays contact information (PER
segment) and additional payer identifier for 835 transactions.
Support for NCPDP Telecom Header (07/23/2023)
We now support parsing of the NCPDP telecom transaction header. Previously, our parser supported only batch headers.
NCPDP Parser Fixes (07/17/2023)
Our parser is now able to parse NCPDP input without details headers. NCPDP headers are hard to deal with. They rely on fixed-length fields, which, by definition, are error-prone. There are also multiple flavors of the same header. The header in a batch environment has a different set of fields from the “regular” NCPDP header.
In case of any issue with headers, the parser simply ignores them; it then uses the schema for the “B1” transaction, which contains all of the key NCPDP segments, so the parser is able to parse most of the input.
Improved ISA Parsing (07/12/2023)
Parsing of “ISA” segments is now more lenient, allowing for situations when the fixed-length fields are shorter than required. The X12 EDI standard mandates that all elements constituting the ISA segment must be of fixed width. In real life, however, this requirement is often not followed. We can now parse EDI with such a malformed ISA segment.
Our payment viewer now properly displays facility type and the claim frequency (payment for an original claim or a resubmitted claim).
Updated APIs (07/06/2023)
We now provide public API to convert 835 transactions into payments. To see a sample response, navigate to an 835 example and click on “JSON” button. Our claim API now correctly parses 837 transactions containing multiple claims.
API for Converting NCPDP to JSON (06/22/2023)
We now provide API for converting NCPDP input into JSON. User can also export parsed NCPDP in JSON format using the “To JSON” button.
Rendering of Drug-related Fields for Medical Claims (06/16/2023)
Our claim business view now correctly renders NDC number, quantity, units and prescription number for service lines.
Parsing of Numbers in NCPDP (06/11/2023)
We now correctly handle parsing numeric fields.
NCPDP Viewer Release (06/07/2023)
Our NCPDP viewer is now live. It supports all HIPAA telecom transactions, such as B1, B2, N transactions and others.
Support for Additional X12 EDI Transactions; “Clear” Button (06/04/2023)
We’ve added support for the following EDI transactions: 110, 309, 810, 856.
We’ve also introduced “Clear” button to make it easier to clean up between file uploads.
NCPDP Telecom Format Parser (06/02/2023)
Our NCPDP Telecom parser is ready to go. For now, we published a NCPDP B1 example, the NCPDP Viewer, which will be similar to our EDI viewer is coming soon.
Improved Rendering of EDI Values in the “EDI String Only” Mode (05/28/2023)
The tooltip now shows formatted values if they are different from the values from EDI. E.g., “11/11/68” vs. 19681111 for dates.
Expand/collapse (05/21/2023)
We’ve added “Expand” and “Collapse” buttons to the business views to open and close all details sections with a single button click.
Improved Rendering of COB claims with multiple payers and adjustments (05/14/2023)
We now properly render multiple payers in the claim’s business view. Each payer’s section contains adjustments and other info.
Support for all flavors of 277 and 820 transactions (05/07/2023)
277 has an “A” subtype. We now parse 277A according to its schema.
Support for Select Non-HIPAA Transactions (04/30/2023)

More Intuitive Rendering of Nested Loops and Parent-Child Relationships (04/30/2023)

Support for All HIPAA Transactions (04/22/2023)
Added support for all HIPAA transactions, such as 270, 271, 277, 278, 820, 834.
