Submitting Claims Through Optum Intelligent EDI (IEDI)

Update April 10, 2024:

  • More detailed information was added to the Upload Claim to IEDI section below.
  • In that section, the Practice's OPTUM ID is needed for uploading claims. This unique ID will come in an email from Valant to the practice's EDI billing contact. If it is not received, contact Valant Support.

Change Healthcare temporary workaround is available: Optum is now offering an alternative claim submission solution - called Optum Intelligent EDI (IEDI) - to Valant customers until Change Healthcare Revenue Performance Advisor has been restored. This option is available without a contract, at no cost, and will allow export of EDI files from Valant to upload directly into IEDI. There will be no integration with Valant and IEDI.
Designated 
EDI billing contacts are pre-enrolled in this program to ensure this option is available, should you choose to use it. This contact will receive an invitation from Optum via email to complete the account setup process.

IEDI Log In

You may access the Optum Intelligent EDI Portal using the One Healthcare ID link provided via email. The email instructs you to create your One Healthcare ID profile account.

If you were already logging in to Change Healthcare (RPA) using a One Healthcare ID (OHID), you will use your existing user name and password.

Currently, your One Healthcare ID can be set up with or without the use of an authenticator, however the use of an authenticator may soon be required. 

When you have completed the steps to set up your One Healthcare ID account your username and applicable roles will be activated, and the URL for the Optum Intelligent EDI is https://optumprovider.optum.com/iedi-portal/

Going forward you have the ability to manage your One Healthcare ID Profile, including resetting your own password.

Set up One Healthcare ID Account

Setting up your One Healthcare ID Profile account includes the following steps.

  • Create your One Healthcare ID – store personal information necessary for account recovery, store email address, Username, and Password where required
  • Verify Email Address – validate your email address (certain users must verify phone number)
  • Sign In – respond to any questions for security and device recognition
  • Setup Authenticator – this option selection may be offered after logging in

Create One Healthcare ID

Begin by using the One Healthcare ID link to open the Sign In form and select the Create One Healthcare ID button, or by using the link in your initial email message to directly access the Create One Healthcare ID form.

You must complete the required portions of the Create One Healthcare ID form, which includes personal information and may require a Password. A particular form is provided based on your application configuration, such as the sample image shown below.

It is important to note that clicking the Continue button indicates your acceptance of One Healthcare ID service Terms of Use and Website Privacy Policy.

You are prompted as needed for current constraints related to One Healthcare ID (aka username) and password selection, if necessary, and any missing elements. A password must satisfy current security standards, and it is case-sensitive.

Follow the prompts to complete the form, which generates an automated email response.

Verify Email Address

Upon successful completion of the Create One Healthcare ID form you must check your email for the automated email response in order to verify your email address and activate your One Healthcare ID.

Select the Activate my One Healthcare ID button, or copy and paste the activation code onto the form displayed to verify your email address.

A success message displays when your email address is verified. You may need to select Continue to complete the action.

If you are using a shared email you may be instructed to provide additional information to secure access, such as a phone number or security questions and answers that you have selected. This information can be later used if you are prompted to verify your identity.

Sign In

Use the One Healthcare ID link to access your applicable Sign In form. A particular Sign In form displays based on your application configuration, and may or may not require you to enter a Password.

Setup Authenticator

After logging in you may be offered the option to set up an authenticator by completing the current steps, such as described in the Setup an Authenticator to Keep Your Account Secure form as shown below.

Using an authenticator eliminates the need to maintain a password, and is more secure.

Note that you can select the Try other Authentication options button, if you wish to set a password. Complete the applicable form displayed and submit. A success message displays when your Password is set up.

Authenticator provides various avenues when you are prompted to verify your identify, such as via text message, email, a call, or via Authenticator.

Manage One Healthcare ID Profile

You can access and manage your One Healthcare ID Profile using the Profile option in the page banner (in the drop down by your name) and selecting the One Healthcare ID Profile link.

Manage the following from your One Healthcare ID Profile:

  • Manage My One Healthcare ID – Change One Healthcare ID

You have recovery links provided at Sign In if you forgot your One Healthcare ID, Username or Password.

To verify your identify and ensure account security you may be challenged to answer your selected Security questions, to receive and enter verification code, such as via email, text, or phone call.

Searching Claims in IEDI

Claim Search

The Intelligent EDI Claim Search function provides filtered searching that enables you to effectively perform activities related to the following:

  • Correct and Resubmit – edit rejected, denied or accepted claims to correct and resubmit
  • Generate Volume Reports
  • Generate Claim Reports

Claim Search – Results

Task: Search submitted/unsubmitted claims in order to finalize, view status details, view related claims and history, create claim status response, print claims, correct and resubmit claims, manage secondary claims and generate a report of search results.

Navigation: Claims/Claim Search/Claim Search

Select Claims/Claim Search to open the Claim Search form, as shown below.

Begin by selecting a Submission Status, and Claim Type — Professional, Institutional, or Dental — and then you can search for claims using one of these three methods:

  • Search By ECT Number – enter the Electronic Claims Tracking Number (the clearinghouse claim identifier)
  • Search by Claim Record ID – enter the unique identifier generated by the Portal when the claim was created
  • Search By Advanced Search – enter any known information into the Claim Search form. Search results correspond to the amount of information you enter on the form. You can narrow your search by entering more information in the form.
  • Search without entering any information – results will reflect all claims submitted for the selected Billing Entity for the previous 7 days, which may result in an extended search time.

The search results is limited to a display of 500 records. You may adjust your search criteria to return fewer results.

Claim Search form categories and fields are described in the table below.

Select the Search button to obtain results, which is limited to a display of 500 records.

Correcting Claims in IEDI

Task: Edit rejected, denied or accepted claims and resubmit.

Navigation: Claims/Claim Search/Claim Search

Select Claims/Claim Search to initiate a search as described in Claim Search - Results to obtain search results displayed in the Claims grid. Use the View Claim icon in the Claims grid to open the desired claim form.

From the claim form you can select the links available in the ribbon to perform desired actions.

  • View Claim History, which also includes resubmissions history. The cascading Claim History provides a view of the tracking log for each previous parent or child claim, and provides a link to view each previous parent or child claim as saved at that time.
  • Use the Correct and Resubmit link (lower right) to initiate an adjusted claim. If a corrected claim has already been created you have the option to use the View Corrected claim link.

Using the Correct and Resubmit button creates a copy (child) of the rejected, denied or accepted claim with a new Claim Record ID, and places this child claim in a Saved status. You may select the row of any parent or child claim to open the details pane and view Related Claims information.

For a rejected or denied claim this new child claim reflects all of the errors from the parent claim so you can work through the corrections. This Claim Rejections information is displayed in red.

For an accepted claim you must determine any adjustments appropriate for resubmission.

You have the ability to initiate a corrected claim and use the Save Progress option to keep your edits as a partially completed corrected claim. When you resume work you can search for Unsubmitted claims in a Saved status (rather than a rejected, denied or accepted status) to finalize this claim for resubmission.

Make the necessary corrections, enter any notes (optional), and select Submit to resubmit the adjusted claim.
