Empire BlueCross BlueShield HealthPlus (Empire) uses Availity* as its exclusive partner for managing all electronic data interchange (EDI) transactions. EDI, including electronic remittance advices (ERAs) and electronic funds transfers (EFTs), allows for a faster, more efficient and cost-effective way for providers and employers to do business.
EDI lets you:
For Empire in Availity, you can complete the following HIPAA transactions:
Availity’s EDI clearinghouse options
Already have an Availity login but want to submit EDI transactions?
New to Availity and want to submit EDI transactions?
Payer IDs route EDI transactions to the appropriate payer.
Use Availity to register and manage ERA account changes with these three easy steps:
Note: If you were previously registered to receive ERA, you must register using Availity to manage account changes. No other action is needed. If you use a clearinghouse, billing service or vendor, please work with them on ERA registration.
Use the EnrollHub™, a CAQH Solutions™ enrollment tool to register and manage EFT account changes.
EnrollHub™ makes it easy for you to handle multiple payers at once, reducing administrative time and costs.
If you were previously registered to receive EFT only, you must register using EnrollHub to manage account changes. No other action is needed.
Providers, billing services and clearinghouses can register to exchange 270/271 (eligibility), 276/277 (claim status), and 835 (electronic remittance advice) X12 transactions for Empire BlueCross BlueShield HealthPlus members and claim payments. To become a trading partner, submit a Trading Partner Agreement Form and an Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) Registration Form. An E-Solutions representative will provide outreach to complete the trading partner ID assignment and establish connectivity with our Enterprise Clearinghouse.
