The Workgroup for Electronic Data Interchange (WEDI) is working to enable providers and payers to cooperate on claims submissions, with the goal of reducing administration expenses, according to Healthcare IT News. A subgroup of the organization is beginning work on a paper to define how an ideal system would work in facilitating electronic transactions between providers and payers.
