Membership
Whether you are considering becoming a member of UHIN for administrative transactions or for clinical exchange, there are many ways UHIN will benefit you.
Providers exchanging administrative transactions will enjoy unlimited transactions (claims, remittance advice, electronic eligibility, and electronic claim status).
Medical professionals participating with the UHIN Clinical Health Information Exchange (cHIE) will be able to electronically connect to other participating members to exchange data. Members will also receive unlimited transactions. By using the cHIE, physicians will drastically reduce time and expense associated with missing patient information and duplicate tests.

For Current Members
Do you need to update your contact information with a local payer, add a provider for electronic billing, or add an electronic transaction with a payer? UHIN is offering a new EDI Enrollment service to current members that will make UHIN your single point of contact. Fill out the form below to begin!
If you are enrolling and/or updating multiple providers for Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) at one time, you may use a spreadsheet instead of filling out individual forms.

CSV EDI Enrollment Spreadsheet (for non- Microsoft Office users)
Please note that this service encompasses Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) only- it does not affect contracting.
Government payers require separate EDI Enrollment.
