The EDI Specialist is responsible for managing daily claim submission workflows to ensure claims are transmitted accurately and accepted by clearinghouses and payers in a timely manner. This role monitors electronic and paper claim submissions, resolves clearinghouse and payer front-end rejections, and ensures proper coordination of benefits for primary, secondary, and tertiary claims. The position works closely with billing, registration, coding, and authorization teams to correct claim errors, address rejection trends, and support efficient front-end revenue cycle operations.

Primary Responsibilities

• Manage daily claim submission workflows for electronic and paper claims, ensuring timely release based on payer requirements and internal posting/submission schedules.
• Submit and monitor primary (INS1), secondary (INS2), and tertiary (INS3) claims as appropriate, ensuring correct payer sequencing, COB indicators, and remaining balance logic.
• For INS2/INS3, confirm required supporting data is present prior to submission (e.g., primary/secondary EOB/ERA information, patient responsibility allocation, COB details, payer address/ID, and any required attachments)
• Support payer/clearinghouse setup tasks for electronic transactions (e.g., claim submission connectivity, payer IDs, routing rules).
• Coordinate EDI-related items such as submitter IDs, trading partner setup, and payer-specific requirements (as assigned).
• Assist with maintaining accurate provider/location configuration elements that impact claims (NPI, taxonomy, address, EIN/TIN, pay-to/bill-to, etc.).
• Prepare and submit paper claims when required (payer-specific or exception-based), including proper form/format, claim attachments, and documentation of submission date and method.
• Validate claim routing (payer ID/plan mapping) and ensure claims are directed to the correct payer channel (electronic vs paper) to prevent avoidable rejections and delays.
• Track submission confirmations and acceptance status; follow up on non-accepted/not-submitted claims and re-submit after correction per policy.
• Work EDI edits including (examples): invalid member ID, subscriber mismatch, DOB/gender mismatch, payer ID/plan mapping, missing NPI/taxonomy, invalid place of service, invalid/expired authorization, referring provider data errors, rendering/billing provider mismatches, duplicate submission flags, and formatting issues.
• Maintain and improve edit libraries, common rejection knowledge base, and standardized resolution steps.
• Identify repeat rejection patterns; recommend upstream fixes (registration training, PM build changes, mapping updates).
• Escalate suspected system build issues, payer processing errors, or recurring defects with supporting examples.
• Partner with front-end AR reps to prevent aging in “not accepted / not submitted” status.
• Communicate clearly with registration, authorizations, and coding teams on required corrections and deadline expectations.
• Participate in huddles and trend reviews; share top rejection drivers and recommendations.
• Track and report metrics (daily/weekly) such as rejection volume, top rejection reasons, acceptance rate, and turnaround time.
• Support projects such as new payer implementations, clearinghouse updates, PM upgrades, and workflow redesign.
• Performs all other duties as assigned.
