What is an EDI 271 Eligibility, Coverage or Benefit Information?
The EDI 271 Eligibility, Coverage, or Benefit Information provides information from health insurers about healthcare policy coverages related to a specific subscriber or the subscriber's dependent seeking medical services.
How is EDI 271 Used?
This transaction is typically sent by insurance companies, government agencies, to healthcare service providers (hospitals or medical clinics) as a response to a 270 inquiry transaction.
The EDI 271 is used to inform healthcare providers (physicians, hospitals, repair facilities, governmental agencies) about eligibility, coverage or benefits from information sources (insurers, sponsors, payors).
