EDI: What is it?

Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) is the sending and receiving of information using computer technology. Any standard business document that one company would exchange with another; such as a purchase order, invoice, shipping schedule, inventory inquiry, and claim submission; can be exchanged via EDI between the two parties, or trading partners. 

The Benefits of EDI

  • Reduced administrative costs
  • Higher claim acceptance rates
  • Data moves faster and with greater accuracy
  • Increased productivity
  • Audit trail of claims submissions
  • Elimination of paper documents
  • Elimination of labor-intensive tasks, such as data entry
  • Greater accuracy of information
