What is a Trading Partner?

Trading Partner refers to any entity that conducts EDI transactions with Independence directly through the Smart Data Solutions Stream Clearinghouse. A Trading Partner may identify itself as a provider entity, billing service, or clearinghouse.

What is a Trading Partner Administrator?

The Trading Partner Administrator (hereafter referred to as "Administrator") refers to the primary representative of the Trading Partner entity (such as a provider office, billing service, or clearinghouse) that is authorized to conduct all electronic business by and on behalf of the Trading Partner, such as modifying capabilities and conducting electronic transaction inquiries. The Administrator must complete the application. Before creating an account, please confirm that you have the authorization to do so.

Do I need to sign up as a Trading Partner?

• Register with the portal if you wish to conduct EDI transactions through Smart Data Stream and are not using a third-party intermediary already maintaining its own Trading Partner relationship.

• Do not register if you are using a third-party intermediary already registered as a Trading Partner. For instructions on how to enroll an existing Trading Partner with any billing group NPI for which it conducts business, contact stream.support@sdata.us.
