Electronic Data Interchange (EDI)
Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield (Anthem) uses Availity as its exclusive partner for managing all electronic data interchange (EDI) transactions. These transactions — including Electronic Remittance Advices (ERA) and Electronic Funds Transfers (EFT) — offer a fast, efficient and cost-effective way for providers to do business. Availity offers flexibility to submit transactions through an existing EDI vendor or clearinghouse, or use your own EDI software.
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.
- Submit files within Availity or use your file transfer protocol (FTP) software.

Electronic funds transfer (EFT)

As of November 1, 2021, use enrollsafe.payeehub.org to register and manage EFT account changes.
Electronic remittance advice (835)
The 835 eliminates the need for paper remittance reconciliation.
