  2. Topics we will cover… • EDI Enrollment- What IT IS, What IT IS NOT • Profiling your Customer • Managing the EDI Enrollment Forms (Claims/ERAs) • Tracking EDI Enrollment Requests • Avoiding EDI Enrollment Problems (Delays!) • Enrolling your customer for Real-Time Eligibility

  3. EDI Enrollment:What IT IS, What it IS NOT. • EDI Enrollment IS: a request by the provider made to a payer to allow the exchange of specific EDI transactions with that payer. The provider is already known to the payer. • EDI Enrollment IS NOT: credentialing or registering the provider’s NPI# or Tax ID # with the payer.

  4. 5 Types of ANSI Transactions • 837 – Claims • 835 – Remittance Advice (ERA) • 270 - Eligibility Request • 276 – Claim Status Inquiry • 275 – Attachments (paperwork)

  5. Profiling Your New Customer Good questions to ask: • Single office or CBO? • Sharing Tax ID# with hospital or other office? • How many billing NPI#s tied to the Tax ID#? • For each payer, does the provider bill as a group or are the individual providers billing “solo”? • Professional claims and/or Institutional claims?

  6. Profiling Your New Customer First things first! • Login to EDIinsight • Add the NEW CUSTOMER ACCOUNT • Get the basics input to the account: • Name, Address, Tax ID#

  7. Profiling Your Customer • Add the Provider Records in EDI Customer Account: • Provider Name, Address • Person or Non-Person? • Billing or Rendering? • NPI# • Tax ID# • Taxonomy (Specialty) Code • Medicare PTAN#, Medicaid ID#

  8. Profiling Your Customer… Create a Payer Inventory List • Build a list of your Customer’s Top Payers • Make a list of government payers your customer needs: Medicare Part A/B, DMERC, Medicaid, BCBS, Railroad Medicare, Tricare • Make a list of commercial payersyour customer needs: Aetna, CIGNA, Humana, United Healthcare, commercial Medicaid Managed Care plans (MCO)

  9. Profiling Your Customer Create a Payer Inventory List • Build a list of Payers that currently send Electronic Remits to your Customer. • Note how each ERA is delivered to your Customer: Clearinghouse, Provider/Web Portal, other direct delivery to Customer • Add to the list any additional Payers from which the Customer would like to have Electronic Remittance files.

  10. Profiling Your Customer Create a Payer Inventory List • Compare the inventory list to the Practice Insight payer list and look for gaps. • Pay attention to Professional vs. Institutional. • If payer is not found, contact us with your request, including payer ID# (log an Issue or email: enrollment@practiceinsight.net).

  12. WhoseEnrollment is it Anyway? 2nd Question What should you do BEFORE your customer submits any EDI enrollment paperwork to payers? Answer: Set up customer in EDIinsight. Add customer and provider record(s).

  13. WhoseEnrollment is it Anyway? 3rd Question Single Office or CBO? Do you share tax ID # with another office? How many billing NPI #s in your office? Do your providers bill as a group or as individuals, and for which payers? Do you bill professional, institutional or both? What is a good question you can ask your new customer to learn about how they file claims? Answer:

  14. Where are the forms? Web page where Practice Insight keeps library of EDI enrollment documents: http://www.practiceinsight.net/RESELLER_Docs/Enrollment.html (This site is for Resellers, not Providers! Go ahead and bookmark this URL.)

  15. Fill Out EDI Enrollment Forms for Each Billing Provider • Who is the Billing Provider for this Payer? • What NPI# is used to bill this Payer, e.g, group NPI# or individual provider’s NPI#? • Is there more than 1 Billing Provider/NPI? • Address should match credentialing at Payer • Signatures must be Authorized • If any question about how the Customer is billing the Payer, CALL the Payer and Ask!

  16. Fill Out EDI Enrollment FormsElectronic Remits • Payers typically deliver ERA files to one trading partner only at a time—no duplicate delivery • Once enrolled, Payer will send ERA files for all payments, whether the claim was submitted by Practice Insight or not • Changing existing ERA authorization may require additional LOA (letter of authorization) on provider letterhead—check PI instruction page • ERA delivery to EDI Customer account depends on complete and accurate input of provider Tax ID and NPI numbers

  17. What if I don’t find forms? Government Payers • No forms? Contact enrollment department. • Govt. Payers require 6-10 weeks to develop a new direct connection and approval to submit claims or a new transaction type. • Electronic Remits must also be developed or contracts negotiated for Practice Insight to register and deliver these files • Questions? Create an issue. **Distinguish between Professional vs. Institutional Example: Medicare Part A and Medicare Part B PI may need to test with Medicare Part A “Institutional”

  18. Managing the EDI Enrollment Forms • Always download a current set of payer enrollment forms (Refer to Reseller Docs URL) • Distribute Forms to Customer (Do not give out URL) • Ideal time frame- 30 days before the go-live date (forms do change) • Always check PI instructions for how to deliver forms • Always make a copy of the completed enrollment form

  19. Tracking EDI Enrollment Requests • PI will share with Reseller any Payer confirmations or rejections (usually by email) • Some payers send NO notification to Practice Insight or to the provider • Reseller can follow-up with payer • Call with your copy of forms in hand—Payers often ask for Provider NPI, Tax ID or legacy PIN

  21. WhoseEnrollment is it Anyway? 2nd Question If the Customer’s Go-Live date is February 1st, what date should you target to send completed forms to the payers? Answer : January 1st. Allow approx. 30 Days. Enrollment varies from payer to payer. (ERA setups can take longer, 4-6 weeks.)

  22. Whose Enrollment is it Anyway? 3rd Question Copy of the completed forms submitted to the payer. It’s also helpful to know the date the request was submitted. When following up on an EDI enrollment request, what should you have in front of you? Answer :
