Quick EDI 834 connections to benefit carriers

How Tabulera Helps with EDI 834?

Accelerate Integration

Launch new carrier feeds without months of delays. Reduce back-and-forth communication and remove IT bottlenecks so your team stays focused on benefits operations.

Access Employee Data

Access enrollment details instantly without reviewing raw EDI files. Give HR and support teams clear answers when employees or carriers need information.

Operational impact

Track every file from a single dashboard — scheduled, sent, or needing attention. Issues surface before the carrier calls you.

TABULERA'S EDI 834 CONNECTIVITY

Full Control of Your EDI 834 Files

Manage every stage of your EDI 834 file lifecycle — from data intake to carrier confirmation — with clarity and accountability.

Create

One wizard builds the feed. Your part ends on page one.

  • The implementation wizard runs the entire build.
  • Platform-agnostic — any HRIS, payroll, or COBRA system.
  • Our team handles carrier calls, specs, and credentials.

Merge

Combine multiple HR systems into a single, unified carrier feed.

  • Multiple platforms merged into one carrier feed.
  • COBRA included on the same enrollment file — free.
  • One feed across subsidiaries, clients, or acquisitions.

Schedule & Transmit

Files go out on time, every time — and you see each one arrive.

  • Files go out automatically — nothing to upload.
  • One look shows every file made it to the carrier.
  • Need an extra file? Sent within one business day.

Tabulera lets us bring acquisitions onto carrier feeds much faster — connections that used to take months are live in weeks.

Schedule a Call

Tabulera took carrier EDI off our plate completely. Our team focuses on clients now, not file formats — and the data is always right.

STEP 1 OF 4

Connect

We integrate your data from any HRIS or payroll platform. COBRA enrollments come directly from your administrator. In most cases, there is nothing for your team to upload — the files arrive automatically.

Sources menu

All connected data lands in one place. Pick a source type, select a date range, and see every file that arrived.

Company-level detail

Each row shows one company — how its data arrives, where it stands, and how many employees and dependents came through.

File history & comments

Open any row to see the file itself, its full transmission history, and the comments your team left along the way.

Connected to every module

Sources feeds every Tabulera module — reconciliation, invoicing, and payments — so the data you connect here is always connected.

STEP 2 OF 4

Build

The implementation wizard covers the entire process, step by step. You fill out the first page, the general information. That is where your part of the setup ends. From there, our team runs the carrier calls, the documentation, and the build.

Specs processed by AI

What the carrier sends goes straight into the wizard, where AI processes the specification instantly. Structure documents follow.

A secure carrier connection

We set up the SFTP connection directly with the carrier, and every credential is stored in an enterprise secrets vault.

Enrollment, COBRA & contributions

Enrollment takes a handful of fields, and COBRA can be included on the same enrollment file. Contributions are built here too.

Plan mapping, confirmed by you

Most steps are handled by our team. The exception is plan mapping: review our first pass side by side, then confirm.

STEP 3 OF 4

Test & Go Live

Safe Execute builds a file for internal validation. Execute sends it to the carrier's test environment. When the carrier signs off, you set the go-live date and the schedule — and you're in production.

Sign-off, on record

When the carrier approves the test file, the sign-off email is stored in the wizard, not buried in an inbox.

Live in thirty days

Setting up an EDI connection traditionally takes up to six months. With Tabulera, your files go live in thirty days.

Open enrollment, rebuilt for you

Three months before your OE date, we reach out and rebuild the configuration at no charge, through the final test file.

Maintenance included

Maintenance after go-live is included, with no limit on requests. Rate changes, new divisions, and plan updates are all covered.

STEP 4 OF 4

Monitor

The EDI dashboard shows every file, week by week — what's pending, what's been sent, what needs attention. Even feeds still in implementation are tracked here, so there's no need for email chains or guesswork.

History, run by run

Each feed opens into its own workspace. History holds every transmission sent — open a run to see exactly what changed.

Off-cycle requests

Need a file sent outside the usual schedule? Ask through Off-Cycle Requests, and it's typically handled within one business day.

Every action, logged

User Logs capture each action on the platform, so there's a complete audit trail behind every change your team makes.

Member Search

Search any employee, active or terminated, any dependent, or an entire company. Questions that once took days get answered in seconds.
