# 835 ERA Report

> Retrieve an 835 Electronic Remittance Advice (ERA) in JSON format

The 835 Electronic Remittance Advice (ERA) contains details about payments for specific services and explanations for any adjustments or denials. This endpoint retrieves processed 835 ERA transactions from Stedi.

1. Call this endpoint with the `transactionId` of the 835 ERA you want to retrieve. You can retrieve the transaction ID through webhooks or through Stedi's API. [Learn more](/healthcare/receive-claim-responses#discover-processed-responses)
2. The endpoint returns the 835 ERA in JSON format.

Note that the payer won't send 835 ERAs for rejected claims. If a claim is rejected in a 277CA claim acknowledgment, there's no adjudication or payment information to report.

<Note>
  Visit [Correlate 835 ERA](/healthcare/receive-claim-responses#correlate-835-era) to learn how to match 835 ERAs to the original claim.

## Claim status

You can't reliably determine a claim's status based on the amount paid in an 835 ERA. There are many instances in which a claim is accepted and the total amount paid is 0 dollars. For example, in Value-Based Care (VBC) scenarios, line item rates are usually 0 dollars, and providers are paid a flat rate per month or for a complete bundle of services.

Use the [Real-Time Claim Status API](/api-reference/healthcare/post-healthcare-claim-status) to check the claim's status instead.
