Change Healthcare (Emdeon): Notification of System Maintenance

Effective: Friday -February 5, 2016

On Friday, January 22nd, Change Healthcare made a difficult decision to ‘pause’ the migration of the SelectRx claims adjudication application due to circumstances beyond our control. Over the last few days, we have taken steps to address and mitigate what was beyond our control and reschedule the migration of SelectRx for the weekend of February 5, 2016.   That being said, the system will be unavailable Friday, February 5th  beginning at 11:50 pm EASTERN and is anticipated to be returned online late morning on Saturday, February 6th.   During this time, pharmacy will receive the following rejection response from Change Healthcare’s switch.             ERX03: Connection to Payer Down     For your convenience I’ve attached a list of BINS that will be impacted during our down time.   We appreciate your patience!
