On February 21, 2024, Change Healthcare (CHC), owned by United Healthcare and Optum, discovered its systems were under cyberattack, resulting in disruption in service to its health plan and medical provider clients.

Alliant Health Plans (Alliant) uses Change Healthcare for its clearinghouse and electronic eligibility verification (270/271 feeds). The following functions managed by CHC are non-operational at this time:

  • EDI Claims Submission (837 files)
  • Electronic Remittance Advice (835 files)
  • Electronic Eligibility Verifications (270/271 feed)

We are actively working to find solutions to replace the services handled by CHC. In the meantime, Alliant Health Plans has temporary solutions for claims, electronic remittance and eligibility as described below:

Claims Submissions

  • Original, scannable, red-ink paper forms may be submitted by mail.

Alliant Health Plans
PO Box 2667
Dalton, GA 30722

Electronic Remittance (835 file)

  • Paper Explanation of Payment (EOP) is available in the Alliant Health Plans Provider Portal

Eligibility Verification

  • Alliant Health Plans Provider Portal
  • Alliant Health Plans Automated telephone system (800-811-4793)
  • Alliant Health Plans Client Services (800-811-4793)

Alliant’s other critical operational functions remain active and are NOT impacted by the CHC disruption. These include, but are not limited to payment operations, provider portal functionality, premium payment operations, eligibility maintenance operations and Call Center operations.

Alliant appreciates your partnership and feedback as the Change Healthcare issue continues to unfold. Alliant will provide updates as more information and solutions become available.

Please reach out to your Provider Engagement Liaison or email ProviderRelations@AlliantPlans.com if you have questions.

Health One and Alliant Health Plans encourages its providers to complete a cultural competency CME course to aid in caring for members of diverse populations. With the increasing diversity of our population, physicians are becoming more likely to encounter situations that require the delivery of culturally competent care, access to a variety of foreign language services and also supportive health care organizations.
