"We are  here  to educate "You" on the benefits of the clearinghouse" 

Benefits Of Using A Clearinghouse

  • Increased Cash Flow - If a healthcare provider were to send claims through the mail, many weeks would pass before they would receive mail notification that errors were holding up payment on their submitted claims. A clearinghouse collapses the wait cycle from 4-8 weeks on paper claims into an average of 5-21 days. 

 

  • Guaranteed Delivery - Insurance carriers often claim they have not  received claims that healthcare providers send through the mail. When claims travel electronically through a clearinghouse, these instances are greatly reduced.

Frequently Asked Questions


Can your EDI program system work with my software?

The system is made to work with almost all Medical Software.  All you need to do is be able to generate either a HCFA Print Image or NSF (National Standard Format) file.  If you have a question regarding this subject, our analysts will be happy to work with you to get through this issue.

How often can we submit claims?

Claims received before 5:00 PM eastern time are transmitted to the carriers overnight.

What happens if there is a problem in transmitting claims from EDI affiliate to the carriers?

Clearinghouse Points of Interest

  • A clearinghouse serves as a liaison between the healthcare provider and the insurance company.
  • Insurance carriers have everything to gain by delaying payment to healthcare providers. This is known as floating claims.  Insurance carriers make millions of dollars annually on the interest accrued in not paying providers in a timely fashion.

How Insurance Claims Are Filed

In most cases, when a healthcare provider renders a service to a patient, the provider’s staff must generate a bill to the insurance company. After the insurance company receives the bill, payment is mailed out to the provider.  This may sound simple, where in fact the only relatively simple part is the keypunching portion. This is where billing centers are a big help. Healthcare providers have a tough time getting paid these days. Insurance claims, submitted to insurance carriers, are being heavily scrutinized for eligibility, fraud, and justification. This is known as the adjudication process.

Healthcare providers file claims either by paper claim forms through the mail or electronically using software. In most cases, practice management software is used regardless of how claims are submitted. If software is used, claims are sent to insurance carriers via a clearinghouse. Sometimes, insurance carriers act as their own clearinghouse, enabling healthcare providers to submit claims directly to them and thus bypassing commercial clearinghouses.


Please take a few moments to answer the following questions. If you answer yes to more than three (3) questions, you may want to contact us about helping you on how to  processing your claims through our National associate.  

1. Are you tired of claims being rejected over and over again?

2. Are you tired of hearing the insurance carrier request information that you already sent with the initial claim?

3. Are you tired of hearing that your claim was never received?

4. Are you tired of waiting 30-45 days for payments, even though you are sending electronically?  (This generally means that the electronic claim you submitted to the clearinghouse has been dropped to paper before being sent to the insurance carrier.)

5. Are tired of your clearinghouse editing and downcoding your claims?


Not All Clearinghouses Are Created Equal!

A healthcare transaction clearinghouse performs auditing services on insurance claims. If a claim is determined to be free of typographical, syntax, and logistical content errors, it is forwarded to the insurance carrier responsible for payment. If errors are detected, it is returned to the healthcare provider along with an explanation of what was wrong. The healthcare provider may then correct the errors and resubmit the claim for another pass. This process may be repeated until the claim passes the inspection. 

 



Our purpose is to help you understand the 
differences between our associate and the others, so that you can reduce your rejection rate and increase your cash flow dramatically!


Clearinghouse Types

Healthcare providers using the free or low cost software distributed by some insurance carriers are subject to biased auditing of their claims, since the software may reject certain coding combinations during data entry.  Most clearinghouse income is derived from the insurance carriers which is referred to as "rebates".   Insurance carriers typically do not charge anything to receive claims.    Insurance company biased processing routinely checks for ten of thousands of error combinations. Clearinghouses do not modify the claims they audit, they simply reject or accept the claims.  Some rejected claims are reported back to the healthcare provider, but many more claims just "sit there" until a tracer or formal complaint is received. Then claim rejection occurs.   

Other clearinghouses rely on negotiating rebates with insurance carriers. We rely on excellent editing prior to traveling to the insurance carriers.  

Benefits of a Clearinghouse

  • Superior editing and cleansing 

  • Greater number of payors to electronically submit claims to.  (Some clearinghouses that are currently used, chances are they are dropping some of the "electronic" claims to paper and mailing them out.)

  • Can receive your data in just about any format

  • Faster reimbursement

  • Improved cash flow

  • Excellent customer service

It's pretty easy to see the importance of identifying the type of clearinghouse you work with.  Since claims do not travel direct to the carrier, our associate is able to perform increased cleansing edits prior to claim submission.  They also offer healthcare providers reduced claim processing rates and enhanced support through our national associate.
