EDI Enrollments
EDI is an abbreviation for Electronic Data Interchange, an innovative electronic communication technology. It is a structured way to transmit data between computer systems using established message formats and standards.
When utilizing healthcare EDI transactions healthcare providers must follow HIPAA regulations and ANSI standards. Standard electronic data interchange formats were developed by the American National Standards Institute Accredited Standards Committee X12 (also known as ASC X12) in 1979. The HIPAA EDI transaction sets are based on X12 and the key message types are described below:
EDI Health Care Claim Transaction set (837)
Used to submit health care claim billing information, encounter information, or both, except for retail pharmacy. It can be sent from providers of healthcare services to payers, either directly or via intermediary billers and claims clearinghouses.
EDI Health Care Claim Payment/Advice Transaction Set (835)
