Edifecs® and HealthEdge® today announced a new partnership that natively integrates Edifecs’ EDI Gateway offerings and HealthEdge’s HealthRules Payer claims adjudication system. The partnership will make it easier for payers to exchange and connect healthcare data – reducing friction, strengthening business agility, and enhancing operational efficiency. Additionally, the alliance will dramatically shorten implementation times and streamline maintenance to reduce health plan total cost of ownership typically experienced with bespoke or in-house integrations.

“At HealthEdge, we are committed to building a single digital ecosystem that delivers advanced automation and clinical engagement among healthcare payers, providers, and patients.” said Alan Stein, chief product and strategy officer of HealthEdge. “Both HealthEdge and Edifecs are multi-year winners of the Best in KLAS award in our respective product areas.

By developing native integrations between our unique technologies, we will dramatically reduce downtime, development and testing expenses, and administrative burden for our customers,” said Chris Lance, chief product officer at Edifecs. “Our partnership puts the heavy lifting on us – where it belongs – rather than on our customers.”
