Electronic data interchange (EDI) is the backbone of US healthcare transactions. From verifying patient eligibility to submitting claims and posting payments, EDI standards keep providers connected to payers efficiently and securely.
Common EDI transaction sets
- 837 — Professional and institutional claim submission
- 835 — Electronic remittance advice (ERA) for payment posting
- 270/271 — Eligibility inquiry and response
- 276/277 — Claim status request and response
Why EDI accuracy matters
Errors in EDI files — wrong subscriber IDs, invalid diagnosis pointers, or mismatched NPIs — trigger rejections before adjudication. Clean EDI reduces days in A/R and lowers administrative cost per claim.
