Electronic Document Interchange (EDI) is a way to exchange data using a standard format and communication protocol. ChiroTouch supports a subset of EDI standards for Health Care that is mandated by HIPAA. This standard is created and maintained by the ANSI X12 committee. The current version of ChiroTouch includes support for the 837 (claim) and 835 (remittance advice) EDI transactions. The process of exchanging the EDI documents is called “document trading” and the parties involved in that process are called “trading partners”.

WayStar Enrollment

WayStar Configuration

EDI makes use of several data identifiers that define key entities included on the exchanged documents. These include site, doctors, patients, payers, and trading partners. Using of the identifiers instead of names greatly reduces data entry mistakes and removes naming discrepancies between different organizations. The following section describes all data elements that need to be configured for successful EDI. Please refer to the ChiroTouch Manual for more information on how to use the EDI configuration screens.
