Claims That Need Attention

Important! Check with the Payer's EDI Department

Payers maintain two databases for claims: one managed by the EDI department and another by Provider Services or Customer Service. When a claim first arrives, it undergoes front-end edits on the EDI server, which can take up to a week. During this period, Provider Services is unaware of the claim.

If the EDI department rejects the claim, Provider Services will not be aware it was ever submitted.

Once the claim clears front-end edits, it moves to adjudication, at which point Provider Services acknowledges its existence. This is why calling Provider Services before the claim clears edits may result in being told they never received it.

Rejected Claims

Rejected claims are those denied by Claim.MD, the payer’s EDI vendor, or the payer itself.

If a claim is rejected, click to display a list of claim errors:

  • Red errors: Indicate a rejected claim.
  • Yellow errors: Indicate potential rejection and require review before submission.

  • Click an individual claim to open the View/Edit Claim page, where errors can be corrected based on explanations at the bottom.

  • Check a claim record in the Rejected Claims list to select it for an action. Use the Selected Actionsdropdown to:
    • Transmit: Resend a reviewed claim.
    • Re-validate: Run Claim.MD validation edits again. Claims passing validation move to pending approval, while failed ones return to the rejected list.
    • Submit Void: Changes claim frequency code to '8' (Void) and applies the earliest ICN # if available.

Claim Rejection Entities / Events

Archiving a Rejected Claim

Archiving removes inactive claims from the active view while preserving historical data.

  • Click the red archive button at the bottom left of the screen.
  • Confirm archiving in the pop-up window.
How to Un-Archive a Claim

To un-archive a claim:

  1. Search for the claim on the Search page.
  2. Click the claim from the list.
  3. Click the Save Claim button to restore it.

    If the "Transmit Approval" setting is turned off, make any necessary changes before clicking Save Claim, as this action will send the claim back to the payer.

Pending Approval

Claims that Claim.MD did not find issues with are ready for approval and submission to the payer. Click the button to submit them.

The Results window displays the number of claims marked for transmission. Click . Any claims rejected by Claim.MD that require corrections will be shown immediately. Refresh the page to confirm there are no rejected claims per Claim.MD standards.

More Information

Claims can be configured for automatic transmission in the Account Settings menu.

Missing Acknowledgement Alert

This alert indicates that Claim.MD successfully transmitted the claims but has not yet received confirmation of receipt. The time frame for missing acknowledgments varies by payer, but a response is typically expected within 48 hours.

Potential reasons for a missing acknowledgment include:

  • The payer has not processed the claim file as expected.
  • The payer has the claims but has not returned a confirmation or rejection status.
  • The payer is experiencing processing delays, and responses may be delayed.
  • The provider's setup in the payer’s system is incomplete, preventing status messages.

We recommend contacting the payer to confirm claim processing. If the payer has not received the claims within a few days, re-transmission is advised.

To re-transmit claims, click . Select the necessary claims in the View Claims list, choose Transmit from the Selected Actions dropdown, and then click Transmit Selected in the pop-up window.

More Information
If a payer acknowledgment, rejection, or ERA is received, these alerts will automatically clear. Otherwise, they will remain on the list for follow-up.

ERA Alert

This alert indicates that Claim.MD expected an ERA response within the timeframe set in the ERA Alert Settings (default is 30 days but can be modified). Contact the payer to confirm claim processing. If the payer has not received them, consider re-transmitting.

To re-transmit, click , select all claims approved for transmission, choose Transmit in the Selected Actions dropdown, and select in the pop-up window.

Claim Reminder

This is a user-added reminder for an individual claim. See View/Edit Claims for instructions on adding reminders.

NCCI Alert

This alert signifies that a claim contains information that may lead to rejection. It can be disabled in Account Settings.
