This role is ideal for professionals with deep experience in healthcare EDI—particularly 834 X12 eligibility files—and hands-on technical skills using C#, SQL, and EDI processing tools. This role will ultimately be a 50/50 split between hands-on development and working with 834s in an implementation role.
The Role You’ll Play
As the 834 EDI Specialist/Developer, you will act as the Subject Matter Expert for 834 eligibility feeds, EDI file exchange, and processing initiatives. You’ll partner closely with internal teams and trading partners to build, enhance, and troubleshoot EDI data workflows. Half of your time will be spent developing the files, and the other half will be spent on the actual implementation with the vendor and doing the daily loads. This role mainly involves supporting standard X12-compliant data formats, but will also involve some work with proprietary data formats, requiring experience in secure data transfers, eligibility mapping, and transformation logic.
- Manage day-to-day EDI operations for inbound and outbound 834 eligibility feeds.
- Troubleshoot EDI issues in collaboration with trading partners and internal business stakeholders.

- Analyze data for quality, accuracy, and compliance with HIPAA and internal standards.
- Maintain detailed process documentation and EDI data flow diagrams.
- Implement process improvements and automation opportunities.
- Ensure adherence to security protocols, including SFTP and best practices for secure file transfer.
