2017 Annual Trading Partner Recertification

We began our annual CEDI Trading Partner Recertification on July 1, 2017 and it will conclude on December 29, 2017. CEDI Trading Partners who have not recertified by December 29, 2017 will be suspended the first week of January 2018.

The 2017 CEDI Recertification Form is located on the CEDI website ( under CEDI Recertification Form on the left side of the main web page.

Recertification is the responsibility of the owner of the Trading Partner ID used to exchange electronic transactions with CEDI. Suppliers who use a third party (such as a billing service or clearinghouse) and do not have a CEDI Trading Partner ID of their own, will not complete the form. If you are not sure if you will need to complete the Recertification Form, please contact your billing service/clearinghouse for clarification on your setup.

Only the authorized contacts provided on the CEDI Recertification Form are able to request a password change, reset a password and have access to restricted information related to the Trading Partner ID. Please be sure to list all individuals who will need access to this information on the CEDI Recertification Form. When you need to add contacts, be sure to select the “Add” button after entering the contacts information.

NOTE: Please be sure to list the owner of the Trading Partner ID as one of the authorized contacts.
