EDI claims submission
The easiest way to submit EDI claims to Molina is through a clearinghouse. You may submit the EDI claims through your own clearinghouse or use Molina's contracted clearinghouse (see the Clearinghouse Information section for Payer ID information). If you do not have a clearinghouse, Molina offers additional electronic claims submissions options. Log on to Availity's Provider Portal for additional information about claims submission options available to you.

270/271 Healthcare Eligibility Benefit Inquiry and Response & 276/277 Healthcare Claim Status Request and Response

Molina does not directly exchange 270/271 and 276/277 transactions. The 270/271 and 276/277 transactions are handled by our contracted clearinghouse Change Healthcare. The transactions may be sent directly to Change Healthcare or via your own clearinghouse.
