1 EDI Solutions Your guide to getting started -- and ensuring smooth transactions anthem.com/edi 00175CAPEN (12/11)
2 This brochure is a helpful EDI reference for both new and experienced electronic submitters. It covers the basics, like choosing an electronic filing approach and what to ask potential vendors. It also includes tips for keeping your transactions running smoothly, no matter how long you ve been submitting electronically. And, it can help point you in the right direction when you need more detailed answers about processes, reports or other questions that may arise. Remember to consult this guide, or visit anthem.com/edi whenever you have questions. Should I handle electronic submissions directly or work with an EDI vendor? Every practice or facility must manage its own unique set of marketplace requirements, operational needs and system capabilities. Using EDI Solutions, you can conveniently submit electronic transactions to us via a process called Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) an advanced form of electronic business-to-business communication linking providers to EDI vendors, software vendors, clearinghouses or billing agencies and Anthem. To prepare your office for electronic submission, below are descriptions of two basic approaches. Using an EDI vendor, clearinghouse or billing agency If you choose this approach, you ll submit either paper or electronic information to an EDI vendor of your choice. The EDI vendor then submits transactions to us. Generally, EDI vendors can supply you with everything necessary to edit, format, file and reconcile transactions electronically. EDI vendors often offer solutions that adapt well to your current practice management systems with little or no changes to your internal office procedures. Services to look for in an EDI vendor Mechanisms to ensure claims are directed to the appropriate payer Payer front-end editing, registration and testing Mechanisms to ensure current and valid codes are submitted such as CPT, HCPCS, CDT, ICD-9-CM and NDC (national drug codes) Systems to ensure compliance with Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) requirements, maintaining HIPAA certification as needed Customer support, training and service-level agreements Mechanisms to monitor state, federal and payer filing specifications, installing system upgrades as appropriate Clear, accurate and easy-to-use reporting Electronic pick-up and delivery for transactions 21
3 Services to look for in an EDI vendor (continued) Service-level agreements are between you and your EDI vendor. They are the first point of contact for electronic questions. Likewise, we also contract directly with each EDI vendor to ensure appropriate HIPAA and Anthem formatting. EDI Solutions provides customer support, electronic filing instructions (Anthem HIPAA Companion Guide) and daily reporting for our contracting EDI vendors. You can find our electronic submitter contractual agreements, an EDI vendor listing, additional EDI vendor descriptions and electronic filing instructions at anthem.com/edi > select your state. NOTE: EDI vendors, clearinghouses and billing agencies described offer a wide variety of services. While some provide all the ones mentioned above, others may not. Please work directly with your selected EDI vendor to determine their capabilities. Submitting directly You re also welcome to contract and submit directly to Anthem through EDI. Generally, you re responsible for editing, formatting, filing and reconciling your submissions according to HIPAA and Anthem specifications, using software designed and supported by your own organization or by a software vendor. With the direct submission approach, you must use your own computer, modem, communications software and data compression software. There is no cost to submit claims electronically to us, beyond what is needed to prepare and maintain your environment. EDI Solutions provides customer support, electronic filing instructions (HIPAA Companion Guide) and daily reporting. You can find our electronic submitter contractual agreements and the HIPAA Companion Guide online at anthem.com/edi > California > Documents > HIPAA Companion Guide. To submit directly, you should have: Experienced EDI staff to help with the submission and reconciliation of electronic submissions Ability to monitor state and federal mandates, providing the necessary support for system modifications Systems to ensure electronic transactions are HIPAA-compliant Mechanisms to ensure that current and valid codes are submitted such as CPT, HCPCS, CDT, ICD-9-CM and NDC Ability to accept and interpret electronic acknowledgements and reports when a transaction fails HIPAA compliance Ability to monitor payer communications for potential system upgrades } } Technology available to support data compression and connectivity software needed for electronic submission 32
4 Consider these features when choosing your approach HIPAA-compliant format, code set editing such as CPT, HCPCS, CDT, ICD-9-CM and NDC and support for state and federal mandates Ability to access secured patient insurance eligibility, benefit and claim inquiries which provide access to membership, copays, benefits and deductible amounts Ability to submit all claim types electronically coordination of benefits (COB), supporting documentation (PWK), notes (NTE), adjustments, and institutional and professional claims Customer support and service-level agreements Editing to ensure the accuracy of NPI numbers and payment indicators submitted Automated system capability to correct claim errors and resubmit claims electronically EDI vendor capability to receive and forward important vendor and payer communications Ability to submit to multiple payers Accurate, clear and easy-to-use reports with audit trails to reconcile electronic submissions from your office to the EDI vendor and from the EDI vendor to the payer Electronic funds transfer (EFT)/835 payment advice (electronic remittance voucher) retrieval and automated posting Patient account information (benefits and eligibility, claim status, fee schedule information and payment history) Training program and user manuals Ability to convert to paper, as appropriate Make an informed decision Determine your needs. Ask the right questions. Here are some tips that can help you make the choice that s right for you. Ask other doctors and facilities how they handle electronic submission Visit anthem.com/edi > California > Documents > Approved Vendor List for a list of clearinghouses, software vendors and billing agencies Estimate the number of claims you submit each month to various carriers, such as Medicare, MediCal, Anthem and commercial carriers Determine whether your practice or facility has the technical resources to file transactions electronically Determine the approach that best suits your organization s needs Compare the cost and benefits of electronic filing versus paper submissions Get the full benefit of electronic submission by understanding the types of claims your office is likely to submit, such as coordination of benefits (COB) and supporting documentation (PWK), and work with your EDI vendor to move from paper to electronic filing 43
5 Electronic Claims Attachments Anthem Blue Cross accepts claims attachments electronically through the use of an approved third-party vendor. Documents that can be sent electronically include operative reports, charting, photographs, proof of primary payments and narratives. This is a secure and HIPAA-compliant method of document transfer. When attachments are needed, a third-party vendor provides the ability to scan and send the image(s), which are stored and available for the payors like Anthem to review. During the scanning process, a document control number is assigned and inserted into the electronic claim. This allows Anthem to match the attachment and the electronic claim for processing. Advantages of electronic Attachments Eliminates the need to submit paper claims and attachments reducing postage and fax expenses. Improves revenue cycles reducing wait time associated with payers request for supporting documentation. Reduces attachment re-submission requests and lost attachments. Selecting a third-party vendor We encourage you to work with your clearinghouse to ensure the third-party vendor can accommodate your attachment needs. In addition, vendors may charge a fee to handle transactions electronically for you. To learn more about electronic attachments and approved vendors, visit anthem.com/edi. Questions to consider when selecting either approach: Since Anthem requires that HIPAA electronic submissions must be certified, what measures are in place to ensure HIPAA compliance? How long will it take to transition from paper to electronic submission? What are the costs involved? With the implementation of HIPAA, claims with coordination of benefit information, adjustments and attachments are now features of electronic filing. What mechanisms are in place to accommodate these features? What options are available if a vendor cannot submit these kinds of claims electronically? } } Is training available for new or existing employees either on site, via monthly newsletter updates or user group meetings? 54
6 Questions to consider when selecting either approach (continued): What costs are associated with training? Is it necessary to purchase additional software and/or hardware to meet the needs of the practice or facility? Are systems unavailable for electronic submissions when system upgrades are installed? Is there a cost for system upgrades? How often are upgrades installed? Is there a capability to automatically post the electronic 835 payment advice? What are the costs involved? Are there software edits that will prevent the submission of invalid, incomplete or inaccurate information? Is the purchased software compatible with the internal computer s operating system (DOS, Windows, MacIntosh, or Unix)? Will the HIPAA reports payers are using (such as 999) be translated into a flexible, easy-to-follow format? Regarding data transmissions, how are occasional discrepancies between vendors and payers resolved? Is the actual data sent to or from the payer available? How are vendor versus payer errors indicated on an error report? Receiving prompt payments is an important benefit. Are there specific situations that require paper claim submission to a payer? If yes, how will the claims be flagged? Will an indicator note electronic versus paper submissions? Is there an additional cost when paper claims are mailed? What is the vendor s customer support policy? Is support billed at a flat monthly fee or charged on a call-by-call basis? Will the system allow electronic re-transmission of corrected claims, or must these claims be re-billed on paper? Will this software support additional HIPAA mandates, such as electronic attachments? In order to submit electronically with the software purchased, is it also necessary to select a clearinghouse? Is there a client reference list available? What are the service-level agreements and response time frames? What mechanisms are in place to ensure optimal efficiency of your electronic claims process minimizing the need for paper submissions? How will the EDI vendor forward important payer communications? Viewing these communications will allow providers to evaluate and plan for system upgrades and become aware of EDI-related developments. 65

9 Reports help speed account reconciliation Accurate, timely reports help resolve errors early Timely reporting lets you quickly correct errors so you can re-submit electronic transactions quickly speeding account reconciliation. The two-stage process, outlined below, must be closely monitored. Please implement ways to monitor submissions and reconcile errors with electronic transmissions during these stages. If you work with an EDI vendor, clearinghouse or billing agency, it s your responsibility to ensure reports are accurate, flexible, clear and easy to understand. Additionally, please ensure your office staff gets appropriate training on report functions. Stage 1: EDI Reconciliation Provider s Office/Facility to EDI Vendor Reconciles provider submissions with that of the EDI vendor Displays claims originally submitted electronically that the EDI vendor switched to a paper submission Identifies claims that failed EDI vendor edits Provides required information (such as patient and claim detail) to correct and resubmit claims Balances total number claims and total dollars received Indicates the date claims were sent to each payer Stage 2: EDI Reconciliation EDI Vendor to Payer Reconciles the EDI vendor s submission with the payer Identifies the number of claims accepted or rejected by the payer along with the date received Provides required information (such as patient and claim detail) to correct and resubmit claims with errors Report basics Work reports each day, ensuring prompt handling of claims Reconcile both claim totals and dollars Correct claims with errors and resubmit them electronically to provide an audit trail and to avoid payment delays Work with EDI vendors to ensure Anthem reports are available. Our reports are your receipt that claims were either accepted for processing or rejected due to errors. If you use an EDI vendor, you should work with them directly if there are questions about data content, delivery time frames, formatting or errors 98
10 If you need to contact us about reports 1. Identify the report in question. 2. Include the EDI vendor s name providing reports on your behalf, if applicable. 3. Provide claim submission date, claim detail and error message(s) returned. NOTE: We are not familiar with the proprietary reports generated by every EDI vendor. Please be prepared to provide details from our reports when you speak with an Anthem representative. Questions to ask EDI vendors Occasionally, a vendor may switch to paper submissions for different reasons. Make sure your vendor is transmitting all of your claims electronically. Are the payer-specific report(s) reformatted by the EDI vendor? Are the payer s original reports available for reference if needed? If the payer s report is reformatted, does the EDI vendor omit or change any information found on the payer s original reports? What reports, if any, are available to reconcile EDI submissions at the EDI vendor and payer levels? Who is the contact if questions arise about EDI vendor reports? What is the estimated response time for resolution to EDI vendor report questions? Are there payer errors that only the EDI vendor can correct? If so, how quickly are the errors corrected and claims resubmitted? What is the notification process when submission delays occur? Is the EDI vendor automatically switching to a paper submission when claims error? What is the cost to switch to a paper submission? Are the paper claims being corrected before mailing? Does the vendor provide access to payer reports that are proof of receipt for timely filing? Helpful information for providers To speed claim payments, you should request and review reports in order to reconcile your electronic submissions and identify claims in error. A rejection on any level may impact the entire claims submission and certainly cash flow. Anthem produces four separate reports, identifying the claim s acceptance or rejection status. Our timely delivery of reports helps you correct claim errors, often without missing a remittance cycle. Anthem contracts with each of our EDI vendors, ensuring reports are delivered accurately, timely and according to specifications. It s your responsibility to ensure that the contract you have negotiated with your EDI vendor provides quality service and prompt delivery of payer reports, as appropriate. Please see the next page for a description and delivery schedule of each report. 10 9
