Edifecs

What Edifecs does

Edifecs is a Bellevue, Washington-based healthcare information technology company founded in 1996 that builds cloud-native, AI-powered data interoperability software for health plans, providers, and government agencies. The platform spans two product suites: the Healthcare Interoperability Cloud (EDI Gateway, FHIR Gateway, Smart Trading Platform, XEngine Server, XEngine Connect, SpecBuilder, Transaction Management) and the Healthcare Operations Cloud (Enrollment Management, Prior Authorization, Member Consent Management, Risk Adjustment Clinical/Coding Suite, Value-Based Payment & Insight). The technology bridges legacy EDI/HL7v2/NCPDP standards with modern FHIR APIs, and embeds NLP, machine learning, and generative AI capabilities for risk-adjustment suspecting and clinical documentation analysis.

The company sells primarily through direct enterprise field sales on a SaaS subscription model (public, private, or hybrid cloud deployment), supplemented by Edifecs University training services and ancillary subscriptions such as Commerce Desk and Compliance Online. Its customer base of more than 300 healthcare organizations includes 24 of the 25 largest U.S. commercial health plans, 32 of 51 Medicaid programs, and 6 of the 10 largest health systems, with solutions used to touch data covering nearly 300 million U.S. lives. Edifecs was acquired by Cotiviti in February/March 2025 and now operates as a wholly-owned Cotiviti business unit while maintaining its brand, product roadmap, and customer relationships.
