Upcoming EDI Gateway transition

Over the next year, Independence Blue Cross and Independence Administrators will transition Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) transactions from the Highmark EDI Gateway to Smart Data Solutions (SDS) Stream Clearinghouse.

This is an initial step of our transition to a next generation platform that will help us operate more efficiently and deliver new and innovative products and services. Learn more here.

We are committed to supporting a smooth transition with comprehensive communications and tools before, during, and after the transition.

Updates and next steps will be shared with our providers and trading partners in the coming weeks. In the meantime, if you have any questions, please email us at gateway.transition@ibx.com
