states	📝 States match on both, a single entry and a comma-separated list. A wildcard match on either a single two-letter abbreviation or a comma-separated list of more than abbreviation. For example, states=FL would match records with a states value of FL and FL,GA,AL; states=AZ would match on an entry of “AZ” as well as “AZ,CA,PA”.

clearingHouse (Suite/ClearingHouse)	Acceptable values are: npd(for Legacy Change Healthcare/Emdeon) rpa (for RPA/Capario) dbq (for Exchange/Legacy Relay Health) 📝 Only one value can be submitted in a query. Not including it will result in npd being used. Using more than one will generate an error.
wildcard=true/false	wildcard=false: An exact match search is performed for businessName or alias. wildcard=true: A wildcard search is performed. 📝 The default value is true. But the API users may want to set it to false.
serviceModifiedGte	Filters a search/export for only those payers whose serviceModified date is greater than or equal to the value provided. If the date is in any format other than YYYY-MM-DD, example: serviceModifiedGte=2022-12-02, an “invalid date format” error is returned.
start	The record number to begin at. '0' is the first number. This is only meaningful if the size is supplied.
size	The number of records to return. This is important. For example, searching on “21st century insurance” (wildcard=false) yields over 1,000 records that all have the same serviceId so, a user would only be interested in the first one. Setting size=1 would only return one record instead of more than 1,000 records.
sort	The column name to sort on, and ascending (asc) or descending (desc) order. sort=alias,asc or sort=serviceModified,desc.
total	How many hits the query matched.
