We wanted to provide you with an update regarding our Everhealth clearinghouse partner, eProvider Solutions (ePS). They have informed us that they are closely monitoring Change Healthcare’s (CHC) ongoing efforts to restore connections with payers for claims and Electronic Remittance Advice (ERAs) that were exclusively connected to CHC.
We're pleased to report that ePS has successfully reconnected 99% of the impacted payers for claims, with only 1% remaining. They are working diligently to restore all impacted ERAs as well.
CHC data review is in its late stages as explained on https://www.unitedhealthgroup.com/ns/health-data-breach.html. Change Healthcare has begun mailing written notices via U.S. mail to affected people identified in the ongoing data review for whom Change Healthcare has a sufficient address. Please note, Change Healthcare may not have sufficient addresses for all affected individuals. The mailing process began on July 29 and will continue on a rolling basis.
As CHC continues to work with industry experts to analyze the data involved in this cyberattack, they are offering immediate support and enhanced protections. For more information and resources, visit the CHC dedicated website: CHC Health Data Breach Information.
Thank you for your continued partnership and cooperation during these challenging times.

Dear Valued Client,
Change Healthcare is still experiencing effects from a cyber security issue that occurred on February 21, 2024, which prompted them to disconnect its systems from customers and partners. Recently we were notified that Change Healthcare will not restore its connection with DrChrono. At this time, we are transitioning our customers over to our new clearinghouse eProvider Solutions (EPS). While doing this migration, you will be able to submit to all payers who do not have a direct connection with Change Healthcare. This will also allow you to start receiving Electronic Remittance Agreements (ERAs) once the enrollments are completed.
We are committed to keeping you informed throughout this process. We have put together a support article to help answer any questions you may have. If you have more questions, please contact support and reference EPS migration.
Thank you for your continued trust and partnership as we navigate this challenge together. We remain fully committed to delivering the highest service and support to you, our valued clients.
Sincerely, The DrChrono by EverHealth Team

It's important to understand that when Change Healthcare (CHC) announces they are "beginning to process claims” or have “reestablished connections” this does not mean that all claim platforms are available, previously services are fully available or connection to the previous set of payer exists.
Please be assured we are actively collaborating with CHC and other industry partners to restore all services and connections as soon as they are available. To this end, we are in constant communication with the CHC team as they discuss their plans for reconnection. At present, we are awaiting an updated timeline and further instructions from CHC to initiate the reconnection process to their various platforms and payers that DrChrono uses. We understand that waiting for CHC to become available is frustrating. Therefore, if you wish to migrate over to our EverHealth Clearinghouse services, please email support with a subject line of MIGRATION TO EPS to assist you in your migration.
Statement Update:
DrChrono has been working on the backend to reestablish connection to mail your patient statements. We are happy to announce a temporary solution has been put in place to support your patient statement processing.

Dear Valued Client,
We understand that staying updated on industry changes from Change Healthcare (CHC) can be challenging given their wide array of platforms and services. In addition to being one of the largest conglomerates of clearinghouses nationwide, CHC offers vital daily healthcare applications ranging from provider enrollment and patient statements to electronic prescriptions and claim adjudication.
Many industry applications rely on several of CHC services, largely due to exclusive contracts CHC holds with many payers.
Consequently, the impact on our customers varies depending on regional factors and each facility’s specific payer mix. This exclusivity means everyone must rely upon CHC for these specific payers and there are no alternative channels available.
It's important to understand that when CHC announces they are "beginning to process claims” or have “reestablished connections” this does not mean that all claim platforms or previously available services are up and running.
Please be assured that we are actively collaborating with CHC and other industry partners to restore all services and connections. Currently, we are on daily calls with the CHC team as they discuss their plans for reconnection. At this time, we are awaiting an updated timeline and further instructions from CHC to initiate the reconnection process to their platforms and products as they become available.
We appreciate your ongoing patience and understanding during this period. We will continue to provide regular updates on potential impacts, along with the progress being made towards a full restoration.
Sincerely, DrChrono Support

As we work to navigate the recovery from the Change Healthcare Services cyberattack and its impact on the Healthcare Ecosystem, we want to express our cautious optimism regarding the recovery process. Today, Change Healthcare published an update via a press release stating that critical system recovery is underway. Change Healthcare indicated that they expect to begin testing and reestablishing connectivity to their claim network and software starting the week of March 18th. While the restoration work continues, Change Healthcare encourages trading partners and providers to continue using the established workarounds.
Since the initial communication of the Cyberattack DrChrono remains focused on maintaining the highest standards of service and security while minimizing the impact of this attack on your practice by creating alternate claim submission options.
