What is EDI?
As stated by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services…
Essentially, EDI is remittance information from the payer. It is also known as an 835 file.
Why Do I Need EDI Files?
Generally, billing staff will use EDI files to post payments into their system for any remittances received by Athelas.
Athelas automatically posts these to our claims in Insights.
Here’s How to Download EDI Files
Navigate to the Remittances page. When you’re ready, click Download EDIs.
You can use the considerable array of filters to pinpoint the time frame, check number, insurance name, or any other factors you would like. Be sure to click Apply!

After filtering, you can hover your cursor over the Download EDIs button to see a tooltip reporting the number of EDIs matching your filters.

You’ll receive an email with a zip file containing your EDIs.

❗️Important Note: While standard software generally cannot read EDI files, your EHR will likely be able to do so.
That’s it!
