X12 EDI Automation

PilotFish Automates EDI 837, EDI 835 and EDI 834 Integration and Cuts Costs

Today, the PilotFish X12 EDI Interface Engine Solution is being leveraged for HIPAA EDI data integration and automation across healthcare. PilotFish’s eiConsole for X12 EDI delivers administrative savings, higher data quality and faster processing of claims (EDI 837), authorizations (EDI 820), benefit enrollments (EDI 834), eligibility requirements (EDI 270/271), acknowledgments (EDI 997/999), payment remittances (EDI 835), analytics, reporting and more.

Automation of X12 EDI HIPAA transactions presents spending and savings opportunities for the entire range of administrative transactions. 

But, even though the healthcare industry has moved more quickly toward automation, vast numbers of processes remain partially electronic. That means many unnecessary manual processes still exist. 

The greatest opportunity to reduce administrative costs is to focus on eligibility and benefit verification, claim status and remittance advice. Another priority target is prior authorizations.

Leverage PilotFish to Target EDI 837, EDI 835 and EDI 834 (and any other X12 transaction)

EDI Workflow Example

Providers or third-party services send the EDI 837 Healthcare Claim to payers. The optional EDI 275 Additional Patient Information (Unsolicited) may also be sent with attachments. The payer or clearinghouse system returns an EDI 999 Implementation Acknowledgment to confirm receipt of the incoming EDI 837 Healthcare Claim. The payer may send an EDI 277 Claim Acknowledgement of all claims received in the payer’s pre-processing system.

An EDI 276 Claim Status Request is sent to verify the status of the claim. The EDI 277 Claim Status Response is sent by the payer. The payer may also send an EDI 277 Request for Additional Information.  The EDI 275 Additional Information (Solicited) is sent in response and may include patient record attachments.

With aspects of the claim verified, the payer sends the EDI 277 Claim Pending Status Information. The EDI 835 Claim Payment/Advice is used to make payments to healthcare providers and/or provide Explanations of Benefits (EOBs). The EDI 835 is used to detail and track the payment to the claim.
