ELECTRONIC MEDICAL BILLING OR CLAIMS PROCESSING (ECP) can best be described
as the efficient processing of claims for a physician via your computer modem. Thus
the term, Electronic medical billing. Claims are submitted to a clearinghouse which
edits, formats and transmits them to the proper insurance company or government
agency. If errors are found, you, as the electronic medical billing professional,
will be notified electronically by the clearinghouse within 24-48 hours. You then
correct the errors and resubmit to the clearinghouse for final processing.
Note: Because you will be using ClaimTek's specialized electronic medical
billing software, the possibilities of making mistakes are few and you will find
that, after filing your first 25-50 claims, you'll know exactly what to look for
in proofing each claim before you submit it to the clearinghouse.
ClaimTek's Electronic Medical Billing Software shortens processing time from
7-20 days! And, some insurance companies allow you to transmit directly to them,
bypassing the clearinghouse and saving even more time.
