Care Solutions is Migrating From Paper to Electronic Claim Processing
OptumHealth Care Solutions is migrating from paper to electronic claim processes. As OptumHealth focuses on the significance of electronic data, it is important to know that we are not alone. Experts believe the wide use of patient health information systems combined with organizations that work together (interoperability) stand to improve heath care quality, reduce medical errors, enhance the physician-patient encounter, and lower health care costs.1
The benefits of submitting claims via Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) include:
- allows for faster receipt of claims and payment cycles, resulting in quicker claims payment, fewer outstanding receivables, and increased cash flow.
- provides you the ability to track the claims from the time they leave your facility until OptumHealth receives, accepts and prices them.
- eliminates the administrative, paper and mailing costs that paper claims require.
- claims are easily managed on the provider Web site, allowing you to search and validate the claims; review closed/rejected claims and manage the EDI claims inventory.
- Bundle billing, cover sheets and/or itemizations are no longer necessary.
Due to the overwhelming benefit to you, our provider, it is OptumHealth's goal to work with you to ensure that claims are being submitted electronically. Please contact OptumHealth at cmc.customer.service@optum.com with any questions.
