Update -
Following the recent cyber-attack involving Change Healthcare, CareCloud has been actively engaged in restoring electronic eligibility services for affected payers and implementing necessary updates. Despite initial projections mentioned in our May 31, 2024, update, we encountered connection issues that delayed our mid-June target.
Currently, we are in the final stages of connection testing. We expect:
Batch mode eligibility (appointments) to be fully operational by July 22, 2024.
Real-time eligibility (manual run in insurance profile) to be fully operational by July 29, 2024.
It's important to note that Medicare eligibility services were not affected and remain operational without interruption.
Thank you for your continued patience and understanding as we work diligently to resolve this matter.

Monitoring -
Change Healthcare Update: We continue to monitor Change Healthcare on all updates around the Cyber response. Both Change Healthcare and UnitedHealth Group continue to post updates via their websites: Change Healthcare and UnitedHealth Group.
Our actions: Upon learning of the incident and in an abundance of caution, all inbound and outbound transactions with Change Healthcare continue to be disconnected. We will continue to monitor their communications and reestablish connections until such time as Change Healthcare indicates it is safe to do so. In the interim, we are taking the additional actions listed below:
Commercial Payers
We have established a direct connection with United Healthcare and Aetna. We continue the process of submitting backlogs for those payers, where applicable. We have also continued to make connections with alternate clearinghouses to route claims.
Government Payers
We continue to leverage direct connections through our parent company to setup direct submission capabilities with Government payers. To accomplish this, our employees are diligently working to complete forms, where applicable, and submit them to you for signature. We appreciate your prompt attention to these forms as that will help expedite the process. Upon receipt of such forms, we will be able to directly connect your account to government payers. While this process may take a couple week to complete, this will allow us to have redundancy and efficiency for all inbound and outbound transactions in the event there are any similar future events.
Change Healthcare Submissions
For clarity, Change Healthcare transactions remain on hold. You still have the ability to queue the claims and once the connections are reestablished and/or Change Healthcare provides an alternative solution we will work expeditiously to ensure those are processed as soon as possible.
Our Commitment: We want to emphasize that protecting your data and maintaining the trust you place in us is of paramount importance. We are continuously monitoring the situation to investigate for further updates and implementing additional measures and redundancies that can avoid future disruptions and address current concerns. We understand the importance of transparency and wish to reassure you of our commitment to safeguarding your information and reestablishing the connection once all matters are resolved.
