It’s what sets us apart from vendors that take a one-size-fits-all approach to intake data, transform it and submit it to the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).

Optum has a proven history of successful Affordable Care Act (ACA) implementations and extensive health care systems knowledge. This qualifies us to lead clients to successful External Data Gathering Environment (EDGE) server submission implementations.

Our HHS EDGE server submission services provide end-to-end support and transparency. We submit data to the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) in the specified format and required frequency (minimum of quarterly). We track those submissions and resulting HHS responses.

Optum monitors HHS business rules continually and notifies clients immediately of updates. We help them understand the impact so they can take appropriate action.

• Accuracy: We submit data to HHS EDGE server with consistent acceptance rate over 99%.
• Implementation: Client infrastructure can be available within six weeks.
