title: Real-Time Claim Status JSON
----------------------------------

You may need to submit a 276 real-time claim status request when you don't receive a 277CA claim acknowledgment or 835 Electronic Remittance Advice (ERA) response from the payer within your expected timeframe.

1. Call this endpoint with a JSON payload.
   * The request must be for a production claim that has entered the payer's processing system. Requests for test claims or claims that the payer hasn't yet accepted won't return results.
   * Providing too much information can negatively affect the results. You should start with our [recommended base request](/healthcare/check-claim-status#json-base-request).
2. Stedi generates the X12 276 EDI transaction and sends it to the payer.
3. The endpoint returns a synchronous 277 claim status response from the payer in JSON format. The response contains information about the claims matching the criteria you provided in the request and their current status.

The response may contain information about more than one claim, if the payer has multiple claims on file that match the information you provided.
