What is EDI?
Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) is a system that sends your claims electronically creating a more efficient process for your practice.

Electronic transmission of dental claims has proven to be an effective way to speed claims processing. Dental Select also accepts attachments and other supporting documentation electronically to further expedite the electronic claims process via NEA. You can learn more about NEA by visiting their website at www.nea-fast.com.
