Rejection code EPSOUT
In response to the recent cyber issue at Change Healthcare, ePS (eProvider Solutions) has implemented a proactive measure by rejecting all claims submitted to Change Healthcare dating back to February 21, 2024.
These rejections will feature a clear and concise message:
"EPSOUT Electronic submission not available for payers at this time."
This rejection process offers our customers two significant advantages:
- Efficient Identification and Tracking: ePS customers can swiftly identify, and track claims directly affected by the Change Healthcare issue. This streamlined approach ensures quick awareness and management of impacted claims.
- Resubmission Opportunities: As ePS continues to redirect affected payers, customers gain the ability to resubmit claims for processing through these new connections. To keep our customers informed, ePS will publish a daily list of rerouted payers, along with effective dates, facilitating the resubmission process.
It is crucial for customers to note that attempting to resubmit claims to payers not yet rerouted will result in continued rejection, accompanied by the familiar message: "EPSOUT Electronic submission not available for payers at this time."
Please note, currently, we are only changing the routes for claim transmissions. As we progress through these updates, we will begin investigating the best solutions for our ERA connections and the required enrollments. Throughout this challenging situation, EPS remains in constant communication with Change Healthcare and will promptly notify customers once regular submissions can resume. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation during this ongoing issue.
