Health insurance payers face numerous challenges in managing electronic data interchange (EDI). From integration complexities to maintaining compliance and ensuring data security, the process can be overwhelming.
EDI Sumo, an advanced EDI translation software, is designed to meet these unique needs by offering robust integration capabilities, real-time visibility, and comprehensive data handling features.
Think of EDI Sumo as that true workhorse you know – the person who powers through every task without breaking a sweat. Maybe it's someone at the gym, pushing themselves harder, faster, and longer, or that college roommate who could pull an all-nighter, ace the next day's exam, and still have the energy to go out that night. They take on more and more, and nothing phases them. You might even wonder if they're superhuman.
Integration with EDI Translators and More
EDI Sumo is engineered to integrate effortlessly with various EDI translators, with a particular emphasis on IBM’s B2BI and ITXA. This single, scalable B2B integration gateway offers automated trading partner onboarding and management.
The integration ensures that EDI translation and WEDI validation processes are smooth and reliable, enhancing the overall efficiency of data exchanges. Furthermore, EDI Sumo can exchange files with any claims management or other internal systems, facilitating a streamlined workflow across departments.
Powerful Data Transformation
At the heart of EDI Sumo is a high-powered data transformation engine that supports ultra-efficient data processing. This engine ensures that each department — including enrollment, claims, and customer service — has visibility into their data, enabling informed decision-making and swift issue resolution. Customer service teams benefit from real-time access to enrollment data, allowing them to meet service level agreements (SLAs) and improve customer satisfaction.
Reducing IT Burden and Enhancing Operational Efficiency
EDI Sumo frees up IT resources by making both data and metadata accessible to all relevant stakeholders. Users have visibility into EDI translation reports and ERP error reports. This transparency allows for quicker identification and resolution of issues, boosting operational efficiency.
- Proactive Notifications: EDI Sumo provides proactive visibility and notifications, ensuring you know what's going on with your data before your trading partners call you with an issue.
- Empowering Stakeholders: Valuable resources do not need to get as involved with EDI questions because everyone can access their data, empowering teams to resolve issues independently and efficiently. No more relying solely on Ed, the resident EDI expert — now everyone has the info they need, so there's no waiting for Ed to return from vacation for help!
The software includes its own Trading Partner Management Module and User Database. With EDI Sumo, data is open and integrated, readily available for reporting and analysis. Your organization will easily handle hundreds of thousands of files per month, including very large files, without compromising performance.
Robust Security and Accessibility Features
EDI Sumo resides on the company intranet, providing total visibility across the entire organization. But just like you wouldn’t give your entire office a key to your home, we understand that not everyone should have access to everything. With EDI Sumo, you have the option to finely control who sees what, based on trading partner, document type, and other criteria, ensuring that sensitive data is protected.
The software’s search capabilities allow users to find files by filename, date, trading partner, status, and more. Plus, data and error information can be exported to Excel for further analysis, making it as easy as pie to keep track of everything and ensure smooth operations.
And since the data stays on the company's intranet, you control the security, ensuring that it’s protected within your own network.
Multiple File Types? No Problem
EDI Sumo handles various file formats, including X12, positional, CSV, and tab-delimited files. It supports enrollments, claims, claims responses, accumulators, 277s, 999s, and 835s. Designed to address healthcare-specific data challenges, the software ensures that files are prepared accurately for EDI translation, maintaining compliance and precision throughout the process.
Understanding the Hops
The Member History Dashboard and historical data tracking features provide a detailed view of each file’s journey, capturing every “hop” it has taken. Each entry or network hop is akin to a pit stop on the file’s road trip. If the file times out, it usually indicates a problem at that particular stop, helping you pinpoint and resolve issues efficiently.
Understanding these hops can be incredibly helpful for compliance purposes. By tracking each step, you can pinpoint exactly where and why a packet failed, ensuring that data is handled correctly and securely. This level of detail not only helps in troubleshooting and resolving issues swiftly but also provides a clear audit trail. Such transparency is crucial for meeting regulatory requirements, demonstrating that your data handling processes are robust and reliable.
Streamlined File Handling and Decryption
EDI Sumo handles all files in a standardized flow, with on-the-fly decryption capabilities for PGP, Zip, and other encrypted formats. This ensures that your data is secure and readily accessible when needed, without the hassle of manual decryption.
