Become a Core Stakeholder

As a trusted and experienced CORE certification partner, we fully understand the concerns and challenges of testing. The process can be confusing and roadblocks with internal systems are common. That’s why we offer solutions and services for overcoming challenges with internal systems, setting up connectivity, creating master test data, understanding rules or policies, and mitigating resource constraints for testing.

What is a CORE Stakeholder?

By becoming a CORE Stakeholder, you’re providing assurance that your systems are conforming with the CAQH CORE operating rules and their underlying standards. This better enables the efficient and secure exchange of healthcare administrative data.

Who Should Become a CORE Stakeholder?

Providers (HIPPA 270/276 Transactions)
Physicians, physician groups, clinic systems, and hospitals who need to determine the eligibility or request claim status information on a patient.
Vendors (HIPPA 270/276 Transactions)
Organizations that provide practice management, eligibility-specific, or claim status-specific information systems to providers, hospitals, or other patient-care professionals.
Health Plans (HIPPA 271/277 Transactions)
Organizations who have members serviced by the provider community or need to respond to eligibility requests.
Clearinghouses
Clearinghouses can have many roles in the eligibility process and are given three options: submit request only, receive request only, and submit and receive requests.

How Do I Become a CORE Stakeholder?

The CORE certification process has four steps. Each step has action items that must be completed before moving to the next step. This enables our tester to execute compliance goals in a phased manner. Edifecs technical and business subject matter experts are available to help companies through the certification process.
