Overview

Payer Data Exchange (PDex) API allows exchange of data seamlessly with other payers for timely benefits coordination or transitions.

Key Usecase

When a beneficiary switches from one payer to another, new payer systems can use this API as part of onboarding the beneficiary to retrieve beneficiary data to co-ordinate the transition.
