Electronic Data Interchange


Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield (Anthem) 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:

  • Process claims faster by submitting coordination of benefits electronically and fixing errors early with in-system notification and correction.
  • Reduce overhead and administrative costs by eliminating paper claim submissions.
  • Speed up enrollment and payment for employer groups benefits.
  • Upload files through file transfer protocol (FTP) or directly in Availity as a batch or single claim submission.
