Introduction
Submitting Medicaid claims via electronic media offers the advantage of speed and accuracy in processing. Providers may submit electronic claims themselves or choose a billing agent that offers electronic claim submission services. Billing agents must enroll as Medicaid providers.
Benefits
The benefits of electronic claims submission include:
· Increase speed of claims payments, seven days in some cases.
· Correct data entry errors immediately, avoiding mailing time and costs.
· Eliminate the cost and inconvenience of claims paperwork.
· Reduce office space required for storing claim forms, envelopes, etc.
· Decrease mailing costs.
· Decrease clerical labor costs.
· Automate the office for a more efficient operation.
Free Software
The Medicaid fiscal agent has PC-based software, called WINASAP 2003, which enables providers to submit claims electronically on IBM compatible personal computers (PC) in their offices.
Providers can transmit the claims via telephone lines directly to the Medicaid fiscal agent.
