[Identified] Change Healthcare, a vendor used widely in the healthcare industry for retrieving insurance eligibility details, is experiencing an outage.
As a result, we are seeing the following failures:

* Claims to certain payers though Elation Billing are failing (refer to the Elation Billing application for more information)
* eRx failures to pharmacies that use Change for eligibility lookups
Change has reported that this outage is due to a cybersecurity incident. Our Security Team has reviewed our integration with Change and confirmed there is no security risk to Elation systems. We will continue to monitor this event very closely and provide updates as they are available to us.

[Identified] We are continuing to monitor the situation as Change Healthcare works to restore service. There is no ETA for a resolution from Change at this time.
Our ePrescribing partner, Surescripts, has updated their database of pharmacies to account for the impacts of the Change outage. If you receive an error message stating that the "receiving partner does not support this type of message" when attempting to electronically prescribe a controlled substance, that indicates the pharmacy in question is not able to support EPCS at this time. We recommend reaching out to the pharmacy to determine what, if any, workaround are available.
