# Payerworks docs > Every page is a job you came to do: the request to send, how to read the answer, what to do when it is refused, and the code lists. Each page is also plain markdown for you or your coding agent. The API writes files and explains answers; it sends nothing to a payer. ## Start here - [Payerworks docs](https://payerworks.com/docs/index.md): Payerworks API docs by job: eligibility, claim status, claims, remittances, enrollment, events and keys, with quickstarts, examples and markdown for agents. - [Building with a coding agent](https://payerworks.com/docs/coding-agents.md): Point a coding agent at the Payerworks docs, the OpenAPI document and the MCP server, with prompts to paste and a check of what it builds against the sandbox. ## Quickstarts - [A sandbox claim, to its 835](https://payerworks.com/docs/quickstart-sandbox-claim.md): Send one invented claim to the Payerworks sandbox payer and read its 999, its 277CA and its 835 back in words, with a test key, in a few minutes. - [A first 271, explained](https://payerworks.com/docs/quickstart-first-271.md): Write an eligibility question as a 270, get a 271 back from the eligibility sandbox, and read the deductible, out-of-pocket and copays in words. - [Following an event](https://payerworks.com/docs/quickstart-events.md): Set a webhook, run the claims sandbox, check each event’s signature on your server, and list or send again the events Payerworks recorded for your key. - [The enrollment sandbox](https://payerworks.com/docs/quickstart-enrollment.md): Create an invented provider, request enrollment with the sandbox payer PWSANDBOX, submit it, and advance it through its statuses one step at a time. - [A first 275](https://payerworks.com/docs/quickstart-first-275.md): Announce an attachment on a claim, then write that attachment as an X12 275 under the same control number, ready for you to send on your own connection. ## By job - [Eligibility](https://payerworks.com/docs/eligibility.md): Write eligibility questions as 270s, explain any 271 per patient, find a patient again after a no-match, put plans in order, and print an answer. - [Claim status](https://payerworks.com/docs/claim-status.md): Write claim status questions as 276s, explain each 277 answer with the next step and when to ask again, and follow up on your open claims. - [Claims](https://payerworks.com/docs/claims.md): Check claims against one published edit table, write 837P, 837I and 837D files, plan corrected and void claims, and run the claims sandbox. - [Acknowledgments](https://payerworks.com/docs/acknowledgments.md): Explain every rejection in a 999 or a 277CA as the fix in your claim data, and track each claim from the 837s, 999s, 277CAs and 835s you hold. - [Remittances and denials](https://payerworks.com/docs/remittances.md): Explain an 835 claim by claim, say each denial as the next step, write appeal letters, and find duplicates, deposits, recoupments and filing windows. - [Analytics from your own files](https://payerworks.com/docs/analytics.md): Count your own denials and payments, check payments against your fee schedule, check a claim against your past denials, and rank open denials. - [Documents and attachments](https://payerworks.com/docs/documents.md): Draw claims on the CMS-1500, print remittances and eligibility answers, fill Medicare’s appeal forms, and write attachments as an X12 275. - [Prior authorization](https://payerworks.com/docs/prior-authorization.md): Write a prior authorization request as a 278, explain the payer’s response, run the authorization sandbox, and check Medicare’s published lists. - [Patient estimates and money](https://payerworks.com/docs/patient-money.md): Estimate a patient’s share from a 271, lay out a Good Faith Estimate, find a replacement window and a poverty guideline percent, and check a charges file. - [The payer directory](https://payerworks.com/docs/payers.md): Search payers and plan programs from public federal files, with a payer ID only where the payer publishes it. It is not a list Payerworks sends to. - [Transaction enrollment](https://payerworks.com/docs/enrollment.md): Create providers, request transaction enrollment with a payer, answer its tasks and upload its PDFs, import many at once, and run the enrollment sandbox. - [Events and webhooks](https://payerworks.com/docs/events.md): Receive signed events at your webhook or several destinations, check each signature, list every event for 30 days, and send one again. - [Keys and your account](https://payerworks.com/docs/keys.md): Test and live keys, your account’s rate and usage this month, named keys, rotation that keeps the key id, your notice address, and the hosted MCP server. - [The SFTP file drop](https://payerworks.com/docs/sftp.md): Make an SFTP user under your own SSH key, drop 837P claim files in one folder, and read the answers Payerworks writes to another, where the drop is open. - [Batch jobs](https://payerworks.com/docs/jobs.md): Run up to 1,000 calls to one route from one uploaded file, or write one 270 of up to 7,500 questions, and fetch the result for 24 hours. - [Organizations and members](https://payerworks.com/docs/organizations.md): Make an organization for your account, invite people with a role, sign in with an authenticator app, and manage keys as a member while keys call the API. ## Reference - [Every error](https://payerworks.com/docs/errors.md): Every refusal code the Payerworks API answers, with its HTTP status and what it means, how a refusal is shaped, and which ones a client should retry. - [Compatibility and deprecation](https://payerworks.com/docs/compatibility.md): What may change under /v1 without notice, what counts as a breaking change, how much notice a removal gets, and how a deprecation is marked. - [Changelog](https://payerworks.com/docs/changelog.md): Every dated change to the Payerworks API: what shipped, how it was before and how it is now, the sandbox support, and what it means for an integration. ## Optional - [Every docs page in one file](https://payerworks.com/llms-full.txt) - [OpenAPI document](https://payerworks.com/openapi.json)
