BELLEVUE, Wash.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Edifecs, Inc., a global health information technology solutions company, is participating in multiple sessions at the virtual Workgroup for Electronic Data Interchange (WEDI) 2023 Summer Conference, August 1 – 2. Kevin Day, principal business advisor at Edifecs, and AVP product manager, Sergiu Rata, are moderating an expert panel discussion on taking a holistic and patient-centered approach to attachments.

As a leader helping resolve challenges with prior authorization that delay patient care, Edifecs executives will share first-hand knowledge on efficiently improving health information exchange, reducing costs, and while preparing for forthcoming mandate compliance.
The WEDI Summer Forum will focus on two CMS proposed rules.
