We've been diligently working to find solutions for processing your claims. We know insurance payments are vital to your business and want to make sure you have the cash flow you need.
Latest Updates
Dec 3, 2024
In the past several months, our teams have been focused on restoring the various claims services that were previously provided to axiUm clients through our partnership with Change Healthcare. We wanted to provide a final update regarding this work as we approach the end of 2024.
Dental Claims have been successfully processing through DentalXChange since March. Through the summer months, we began migrating clients to an updated claim submission process that allows clients to use the DentalXChange Claim Connect portal for claim management and status reporting.
Patient Statement printing and mailing restoration began in April with ImageNet-DFS, with mailings to patients beginning for some clients in June.
Patient Eligibility has been available since April, and this functionality was improved with the migration to DentalXChange Claim Connect.
Electronic Remittance Advice (ERA/835) enrollment began in April and is now available for clients to self-enroll through the DentalXChange Claim Connect portal.
Medical Claims are still undergoing restoration with DentalXChange and Trizetto. We are also investigating other clearing house options into 2025. Our Support team is working directly with clients who process medical claims.
This will be our last update regarding restoration of claims processing services since the Change Healthcare cyber incident earlier this year.
Future improvements to claim processing functionality will be addressed through the axiUm product roadmap and release process. We are working on a significant initiative for insurance management, including viewing the claim/procedure status in axiUm and removing the need to export files to submit claims. We currently have two phases planned to be released in 2025: one in March and the next in July. We’ll be sharing more about the initiative in coming months and invite anyone interested to participate in feedback sessions. Please contact your Customer Success Manager for more information.
For any technical questions or issues, please contact axiUm Support.

As you are likely aware, Henry Schein One’s prior clearinghouse partner, Change Healthcare (CHC), experienced a criminal cyberattack in February of this year. While Henry Schein One systems were not compromised, CHC has indicated that patient data has been exfiltrated from its environment. Based on CHC’s analysis to date, a small percentage of Henry Schein One customer’s patient data was affected (at this time, less than 1%), but because CHC is not able to tie affected individuals to practices we are providing this notice to all Henry Schein One practice management customers that utilized claims or eligibility services through CHC.
CHC has provided a HIPAA substitute notice with additional information here: https://www.changehealthcare.com/hipaa-substitute-notice. The notice includes a description of information which may have been involved based on CHC’s review to date, a toll-free call center number, and information on complimentary credit monitoring and identity protection services available to all individuals. CHC recommends that covered entities post a link to the substitute notice on their home page for at least 90 consecutive days.
Beginning in late July, CHC has informed us that CHC will send direct notice (written letters) to affected individuals for whom CHC has a sufficient address. CHC will make HIPAA and state attorney general notifications as required by state law on behalf of covered entities as a delegate. You do not need to do anything for CHC to process required notifications. CHC will proceed as a delegate on your behalf to provide the following notifications:
- HIPAA substitute notice;
- HIPAA media notice;
- OCR report, when data review is completed;
- Individual notifications under HIPAA and state law, for impacted individuals with sufficient information;
- Impacted individuals with an unknown or insufficient address will be provided notice via substitute notice; and
- Notice to state attorneys general as appropriate.
If your patients would like additional information regarding the cyberattack or the complimentary credit monitoring and identity protection services, you can refer them to the CHC substitute notice at the link above. If you have any questions, please contact CHC directly as set forth in the notice.

We have some important updates to share regarding our work to restore and improve claims management services in light of the ongoing Change Healthcare outage.
DentalXChange Portal Access – We have been working on a deeper integration with DentalXChange, designed to enable axiUm clients to utilize the DentalXChange ClaimConnect portal for streamlined claim management and increased visibility. Currently, we are in the live testing phase of this integration and anticipate commencing the rollout to all axiUm clients in the coming weeks.
Patient Statements – Patient statements are either in proofing or being mailed out for clients using the latest statement report file and with data uploaded to ImageNet-DFS.
We have also been notified by Change Healthcare that they will no longer be providing patient print and communication services going forward.
Medical Claims – While we are working on providing a new solution for medical claims, this process is taking longer than anticipated. For assistance with workarounds that will allow you to generate files for upload on medical claim portals, please contact axiUm Support.
We have published Frequently Asked Questions in the axiUm Community and are updating this regularly. You can also ask questions by submitting a support case through the axiUm Community.

This week, we have made steady progress, although there are no significant changes to report at this time.
We want to assure you that we are working diligently to bring all services back online. As a reminder, we have successfully restored the following services over the last two months:
- Dental Claims: Restored on March 4, with client visibility into responses from March 22.
- Patient Statements: Implementation available on April 3.
- Patient Eligibilities: Restored on April 10.
- ERA/835 Enrollment: Enrollment commenced on April 10.
- Medical Claims: Currently in testing.
- Greater Visibility on Claims: in progress.
We take pride in the urgency in which we have responded to this outage. Our team has been working tirelessly to ensure minimal disruption to your operations.
Moving forward, we will only send updates when there are significant changes or progress to share. This means that there will be no further regular Wednesday communications unless there is an update.
As we move beyond the short-term response and consider longer-term options, we welcome customer feedback on priorities and needs for insurance management. That will enable us to decide which solutions and vendors will best meet those priorities and needs. Our intent for the longer term is to ensure redundancy in our solution, which will allow for better performance, functionality, and backup. We’re also considering how best to provide better visibility to claims, eligibility, and other statuses within axiUm to simplify your insurance management workflows.
We appreciate your understanding and patience during this time. Your trust in us is paramount, and we are committed to keeping you informed about our progress.
We have published Frequently Asked Questions in the axiUm Community and will continue to update this regularly.
