Configure Claim Settings for Customer

The Claim Settings contain options that change certain functionality when creating or editing claims. Some settings are specific only to your user while others impact all users in the customer. The Claim Settings for Customer contains options that will apply to all users under the customer. 

Real-Time Claim Submission (RTCS) Settings.

This setting gives you on-demand visibility into your claim for tens of thousands of clearinghouse edits on an individual or batch claim level. Validating claims using RTCS means less claim rework, and accelerated reimbursements so you get paid faster. Enabling this feature is highly recommended based on the benefits.

  1. Select Claim > Settings.

  2. Click the Edit button.

  3. Optional: Click the Copy Settings link to copy the current settings to another customer associated with your account. 

  4. Use the drop-down menu to determine the action that happens when a claim is set to send to insurance via clearinghouse:

    1. Automatically validate and submit the claim (Recommended): This option will give you real-time claim results along with real-time claim status.  Rejected Claims will be set to “Rejected at Clearinghouse”. Accepted Claims will be set to “Claim at Insurance”. Results and statuses will be visible within Claim Tracker.

    2. Automatically validate, but do not submit the claim: This option will allow you to obtain real-time claim results, however, claim statuses will not be updated in real time. Claim statuses will remain at “Send to Insurance via Clearinghouse” until we automatically batch process claims at 11:00 PM Eastern Standard Time. 

    3. Do not validate or submit the claim automatically: This option will disable RTCS. Claim statuses will remain at “Send to Insurance via Clearinghouse” until we automatically batch process claims at 11:00 PM Eastern Standard Time. Claim results along with claim status updates will not be available until the next day within claim tracking.
