# Edi835File

Represents an EDI X12 835 (Health Care Claim Payment/Advice) transaction set — the outbound "explanation of benefits" file sent to a clearinghouse describing how bills were paid or denied. It wraps a raw `IEdiFile`'s segments so downstream builders (`File835Builder`) can populate content under the `I835File` contract, and carries a reference to the `Batch` the 835 belongs to for status tracking.

## Purpose
- Adapts a generic `IEdiFile` segment list into the `I835File` contract shape expected by 835 file builders and consumers.
- Associates the transaction set with the e-billing `Batch` record that produced or will transmit it.

## Context
- Namespace: `SAIF.Services.Claims.Ebilling`
- Assembly/package: `SAIF.Services` (packaged inside the `SAIF.SAIFCode.Core` NuGet package)

## Public members
| Member | Signature | Purpose |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Edi835File | `public Edi835File(IEdiFile file)` | Copies the segments and file name from an existing `IEdiFile` into this 835-typed wrapper. |
| Batch | `public Core.Contracts.Claims.Ebilling.Batch Batch { get; set; }` | The e-billing batch this 835 transaction set is associated with. |

## Behavioral notes
- The constructor performs no EDI-content validation; it assumes the supplied `file` already contains valid 835 segments.*
