Improving the EDI Application Process
CGS J15 Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) is pleased to announce recent EDI Application enhancements designed to streamline the submission experience and improve accuracy in application processing.
Updated features include:
- Electronic signature – Clearly records and documents the application submitter without requiring the user to upload a separate, signed provider authorization page.
- New required fields – Help ensure accurate provider communication and reduce processing delays.
- Provider Contact First Name
- Provider Contact Last Name
- Provider Contact Phone Number
- Pending status – Immediately applies to a submitted application for processing.
- Tracking number – Located on the EDI Application Notice that appears after the application submission; users can enter this number in the EDI Application Status Tool to check status.
