Electronic Data Interchange (EDI)
Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) is an innovative digital communication tool that is used to deliver data from a provider to a payer. In order to be eligible to submit electronic claims to an insurance company, providers must complete EDI enrollment.
Some payers require EDI enrollment in order for providers to submit electronic claims or complete EDI transactions. In other words, until your organization has completed all necessary registration processes, you will be unable to submit electronic claims to that insurance agency.
While some organizations allow for the exchange of paper claims, they are quickly becoming outdated. The industry as a whole is transitioning to digital claims management. Many payers are requiring the completion of EDI enrollment for providers to be able to submit claims at all.
In a perfect world, providers would only have to complete one form and distribute it to all payers, but this is not the case. Providers work with dozens of insurance companies who each have their own list of demands.
EDI enrollment can quickly become overwhelming to a healthcare organization that works with more than one or two payers. Each insurance company has differing procedures and requirements to qualify for EDI. This triples the workload for your team when it comes time to enroll and maintain that relationship
