UnitedHealthcare Expands EDI 275 Claim Attachment Options
The Ohio Department of Medicaid website provides guides, past webinars, and answers to frequently asked questions regarding the EVV system for providers to access. Current preparations by healthcare providers will help prevent future claim problems while maintaining compliance with state and federal requirements.
UnitedHealthcare introduced electronic submission of unsolicited claim attachments as a new business option for healthcare providers. The addition of Availity to the EDI 275 transaction clearinghouse approval list speeds up and simplifies the process of sending claims.
Healthcare providers have access to EDI 275 for electronic submission of claims documentation that replaces the need for postal mail services. The electronic submission method lowers procedural mistakes and shortens reimbursement cycles while enabling providers to retrieve their payments faster. Providers who use electronic document submission become more efficient in billing operations because they prevent delays and reduce requests for missing information.
Several important advantages accompany the use of EDI 275. Secure information delivery happens without printing or mailing requirements. The transaction maintains an electronic log that serves as documented evidence for the delivery and receipt of the items. Medical claims process more quickly as a result of reduced follow-up activities.
UnitedHealthcare accepts EDI 275 document attachments through these clearinghouses:
- Availity
- Claim. MD
- Cortex EDI
- Experian Health
- Jopari
- Quadax
- SSI Group
- Xifin
Providers need to contact the clearinghouse with which they already work to enable EDI 275 functionality.
The UnitedHealthcare Provider Portal gives providers an alternative option to upload supporting claim documents even when they do not utilize a clearinghouse system. Both solicited and unsolicited attachments are accepted by this procedure.
The implementation of Availity has provided providers with multiple flexible options to handle claim attachments efficiently. This enhances their billing process.
