Get Involved

NDEDIC is positioned to reach new levels of success in developing and promoting cost-effective EDI solutions that benefit all dental industry stakeholders. This is the time to get involved!

Have a voice in shaping electronic solutions that will increase the efficiency and accuracy of eligibility and claims transactions, reduce administrative and labor costs, and improve service to patients. Network and share experiences with professionals at the leading edge of electronic information exchange in the business of dentistry.

Public Forums

NDEDIC is introducing public forums as a way for those who have an interest in the EDI industry to discuss relevant topics and collaborate with our hard-working work groups and task groups. You do NOT have to be a member to participate in the public forums, however only members may post new topics of discussion.

NDEDIC Work Groups

Work groups provide the forum for diverse stakeholders to collaborate on developing and standardizing electronic transactions that benefit all segments of the dental industry. NDEDIC has three work groups:

Work Group 1 - Eligibility and Benefits
Work Group 2 - Remittance
Work Group 3 - A.I. Processes in Claim Review

Each work group has active task groups focused on solving industry issues and creating solutions. The task groups meet regularly by conference call. The work groups meet monthly by conference call, and in person three times annually including at NDEDIC's Uniting the Industry (UIF) Forum and Annual EDI Summit.

NDEDIC has adopted a structured, consensus-based process for resolving issues and developing solutions through the work groups. Members and non-members can participate in the work groups, but only members can vote on proposed transactions, standards or implementation guidance. It is important for all stakeholder groups to be represented in work groups.

Your active participation in work groups helps ensure that your voice is heard and that your concerns and those of your organization are addressed. To join a work group or obtain more information about work group initiatives email ndedic@ndedic.org.

NDEDIC Task Groups

NDEDIC Task Group participation is open to any interested party that abides by NDEDIC's expected conduct rules and is willing to work together to solve industry problems. The Task Groups are designed as sub-groups of either Work Group 1 or Work Group 2. To join one of NDEDIC’s Task Groups, please email ndedic@ndedic.org.
