EDI is the electronic transfer of information, such as electronic media health claims, eligibility inquiry and claim status inquiry, in a standard format between trading partners. EDI allows entities within the healthcare system to exchange medical, billing and other information and to process transactions in a fast and cost effective manner. With EDI there is a substantial reduction in handling and processing time compared to paper, and the risk of lost paper documents is eliminated.
EDI saves time, reduces cost and improves accuracy. SummaCare is pleased to provide EDI document processing for providers and employers.
