All EDI submissions to Humana pass through Availity. A process known as advanced claims editing (ACE) applies coding rules to a medical claim submitted through the Availity gateway via EDI before the claim enters Humana’s claim payment system. This enables a claim submitter to identify potential coding issues up front, and it reduces processing delays that can result from incomplete or inaccurate claim data.
