Coming in 2023: Benefit Funds to Consolidate EDI Claim Submission with Change Healthcare
As part of our efforts toward continuous improvement, the 1199SEIU Benefit Funds will be consolidating electronic data interchange (EDI) clearinghouses into a single gateway. In early 2023, Change Healthcare will be our exclusive EDI gateway provider. All clearinghouses and billing agencies must submit Claims 837 EDI transactions through Change Healthcare.
If you currently do not have a clearinghouse or billing agency, or your current clearinghouse or service provider is unable to submit transactions through Change Healthcare, you may register with Change Healthcare and submit claims directly by connecting to Change Healthcare’s Connect Center portal.
Visit the Benefit Funds’ website for further updates as they become available.
