What are EDI and non-EDI payers?
EDI (electronic data interchange) refers to the structured transmission of data between organizations by electronics means. Most of the large, national payers support EDI eligibility transaction set 270/271, but there are many smaller and regional payers who still do not. pVerify™ is the only automated eligibility service provider to support non-EDI payers as well.

Once parsed, the data is then presented in a spreadsheet format where you can filter the data based on what you are looking for (e.g. sorting all patients with HMO plan or patients with inactive coverage).
