Receive your claims faster than ever.

Five reasons to start submitting electronic claims today

1. Make billing simpler

Electronic claims submission streamlines billing. Claims are sent to a clearinghouse, and the clearinghouse takes care of sorting and sending claims to carriers. You no longer need to print, copy, sort, and mail claims. (Of course, if you ever need a copy of a claim, you can either view it or print out a copy.)

2. Minimize cash flow disruptions

Electronic claims can be processed faster, which could mean quicker payment. Currently at Delta, more than 45 percent of electronic claims are processed within 48 hours of receipt.

3. Receive fewer claim rejections

Because the clearinghouse edits claims before sending them on to carriers, any claims with missing or invalid information are returned to you within a day or two -- instead of two weeks for paper claims.

4. Control paper flow

Electronic claims submission reduces your office's paperwork burden and frees up staff time to handle other important tasks, such as coordinating treatment plans, collecting payments, and scheduling recall appointments.

5. Maximize your computer's capability.

Get your money's worth from your office computer by submitting electronic claims. Many practice management systems have an electronic claims component included or available at minimal cost. If you are considering computerizing, ask for a software package that includes electronic claim submission capability.

What clearinghouse is my office able to use?

Crystal PM can produce an electronic image of a completed HCFA 1500 form, which can then be exported to any one of numerous third party EDIs for submission. We do not force your office to use a particular clearinghouse, so your office can find the clearinghouse that works best for you.
