Summary
Highmark is discontinuing the ASK clearinghouse for electronic claims submissions in New York, effective October 1, 2026. All NY providers must transition to Highmark-EDI by September 30, 2026, or claims submitted through ASK will be denied starting October 1st.
Action Required
By September 30, 2026: Billing team and IT department must transition all electronic claims submissions from ASK clearinghouse to Highmark-EDI for New York claims. Contact your trading partner or IT vendor immediately to initiate the transition using Highmark's EDI Trading Partner Business Center resources for Western and Northeastern New York. Notify all providers in NY that claims sent through ASK after September 30, 2026 will be denied, resulting in payment delays and revenue impact. Update billing system configurations and claims submission workflows to route all NY claims exclusively through Highmark-EDI.
