The source code below illustrates some aspects of submitting claims to Apex EDI. For a more complete example, download the sample solution.

Note: When submitting test claims on the sandbox system, the payer ID APX14116 must be used.

Authentication

All API calls require authentication which must be included in the HttpClient header:

//                     sample key                      sample password
string creds = "XORVKPEAWPCGV1QUEXWPO34N" + ":" + "JA1TSZNKTQOFK4WOHIWQ0K9D";
byte[] bcreds = Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(creds);
string base64Creds = Convert.ToBase64String(bcreds);
HttpClient client = new HttpClient { BaseAddress = new Uri(ServiceBaseURL) };
client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Add("Authorization", "Basic " + base64Creds);

API Calling Convention

For each API HTTP call, there is a HttpResponseMessage that is returned. This can be viewed by reading the Content property as a string.

APIs can be called in the following way, using the HttpClient:

HttpResponseMessage _response = client.PostAsync("payers/get_list?vendorSiteId=000_Client&type=Medical", null).Result;

or

HttpResponseMessage_response = 
client.PostAsJsonAsync("claims/submit?vendorSiteId=MyVendorSiteId", claimforms).Result;

		static void Main(string[] args)
		{
			// NOTE: These credentials are for documentation purposes only, please replace with your credentials
			string creds = "P34NOPEA453211QUEXWOXRVK" + ":" + "JA12345KTQOFK4WOHIWQ0J5D";

			client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Add("Authorization", "Basic " + base64Creds);
	 
			try
			{
				// NOTE: The vendorSiteId supplied here is for documentation purposes only, please replace with your vendorSiteId
				_response = client.PostAsync(
						"claims/status/get_by_date?vendorSiteId=000_Client&startDate=2016-06-12&endDate=2016-06-16",
						null).Result;
	 
				if (_response.StatusCode == HttpStatusCode.Accepted)
				{
					string results = _response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync().Result;
