Question:  How do I setup electronic billing for BCBS (EDI)?

Answer:  While setting up the connection information in any of these products you will need the following:

• IP address of the BCBSM - EDDI - SFTP site: 167.242.55.40
• Protocol or Port number: SFTP or Port 22 (SSH)
• Your EDDI Login ID: (c0xxx =Professional; f0xxx or s0xxx= Facility/Institutional)
• Your EDDI password: If your password does not work, call the EDI Helpdesk at 800-542-0945 to have it reset.
