EDI Gateway migration

Beginning January 1, 2024, Empire became Anthem. This article, published under the former brand, now applies to Anthem.

Empire BlueCross BlueShield HealthPlus (“Empire”) has partnered with Availity to become our designated EDI Gateway, effective January 1, 2019.

 

What does this mean to you as a provider?

All EDI submissions currently received are now available on Availity. Please note, there is no impact to provider participation statuses and no impact on how claims adjudicate.

 

Next steps

Contact your clearinghouse to validate their transition dates to Availity. If your clearinghouse notifies you of changes regarding connectivity, workflow or the financial cost of EDI transactions, there is a no-cost option available to you — You can submit claims directly through Availity!

 

Register with Availity

If you wish to submit directly through Availity for your 837 (claim), 835 (electronic remittance advice) and 27X (claim status and eligibility) transactions, please visit https://www.availity.com to register.

       

We look forward to delivering a smooth transition to the Availity EDI Gateway.
