Run the Converter from API, Command Line, Java, or AWS Lambda

Command-line tool: runs on any laptop and OS, converts all files with a single command:

ediconvert "edi/835/*.edi" -o out-dir/ -m csv

API server: lightweight Docker container; converts multiple files with a single call:

curl -F files=@"../837-1.edi" -F files=@"../837-2.edi" "$API_URL/edi/json"

Java library: include as a dependency in any Java project; use our Java object model or the conversion API:

var converter = new EdiFileConverter(OutputFormat.JSONL);
converter.convertFiles(new File("edi/835"), "*.edi", false, OUT_DIR);

Flexible and Customizable CSV/Excel Layout

  • Convert multiple EDI files to a single CSV file containing claim and service line data
  • Need to populate a relational database? Convert to separate CSV files containing claims, lines, adjustments, and diagnosis codes.
  • Flexible conversion of repeating fields: concatenate, repeat columns, or multiple files
  • Stable column layout: the same number and order of columns irrespective of what is populated in EDI
  • Define what fields to convert (or everything by default)
  • Extensive data dictionary with column description and X12 EDI mapping
  • Convert directly to Excel with numeric and date column types; save time on manual CSV import to Excel

Scalable and Secure API Server

  • The API server runs in a single stateless docker container with a small footprint
  • Runs entirely on-premises, does not connect to any outside services
  • Does not store any data; temporary files are deleted once processed
  • Install in minutes; run on any cloud provider

Lambda Function for AWS

  • Same as the command-line tool but packaged as a native AWS Lambda function
  • Convert files directly from/to S3 buckets
  • Use triggers to automate your EDI pipeline
  • Easy to install; use our Terraform file
