Date Issued: 3/11/2015
On April 1, 2015, EmblemHealth will end its Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) agreement with Emdeon Business Services (Emdeon) to submit electronic claims to EmblemHealth, as well as to perform claims status and patient eligibility inquiries. This decision was made to reduce administrative and claims processing costs.
What You Can Do
You can choose to switch to another of EmblemHealth’s contracted claims clearinghouses or you may choose to remain with Emdeon. If your practice management system, vendor or third-party billing service uses Emdeon, please contact Emdeon to ensure they will forward your claims to one of the clearinghouse services for which EmblemHealth has trading partner agreements.
Below is a list of claims submission vendors or clearinghouses offering low-cost claims processing solutions for providers submitting electronic transactions to EmblemHealth. Please contact these vendors directly for information about their services, pricing and how to enroll. We, along with our vendors, are available to provide appropriate support to help you make a smooth transition before April 1, 2015. We will work with you to ensure that no interruptions occur in the submission of transactions.
