EDI 270/271 Healthcare Eligibility and Benefit Response
Healthcare eligibility and benefits inquiries/ responses require detailed information that is required to be HIPAA-compliant. To meet these requirements takes accuracy and timeliness that can only be found in using EDI systems.
The EDI 270 transaction is sent by healthcare service providers to insurance agencies or government entities, including Medicare and Medicaid. The EDI 270 solution typically includes items, such as:
- Details of the sender
- Name of the recipient
- Information on the plan subscriber
- Description of eligibility or benefit information requested
The EDI 270 software is used alongside the EDI 271 software. An EDI 271 document includes all of the requested information from EDI 270 transaction. This is one of the most used combinations of EDI documents in healthcare, making it vital that the information is documented and transitioned seamlessly.
At Effective Data, we offer various EDI healthcare solutions that ensure HIPAA compliance is met, a secure environment is used, and documents are transferred quickly and without issue.
Data for the EDI 270/271 transaction can either be manually entered into an EDI standard document or pulled from data integration through your in-house EDI system.
Once the data is entered into the EDI translator, the conversion process will begin into an EDI document. This conversion process follows specific guidelines that meet HIPAA-based EDI requirements.
The EDI 270/271 solution is a critical document for healthcare providers to understand patients' healthcare coverage and benefits. At Effective Data, our EDI solutions provide complete security and knowledge of the EDI transmission process.
EDI 270/271 transactions are most commonly sent directly to the receiver, where the receiver of the EDI 270/271 decodes the EDI into a document that the recipient can use. The second way of sending the EDI 270/271 software is to send it via a secure dial-up connection to a Value-Added Network (VAN) and then is routed to the recipient.
