COMPLETING
THE CID
Client's
are invited to use the internet to submit the information needed
to generate claims for their patients. As an existing client,
you know what we need. Send your existing patient's name, the
date of delivery, and the product delivered and the quantity.
NOTE: patients must already
be on file to use the half sheet, or web existing patient application.
DO
NOT send the signed PATIENT ASSIGNMENT OF BENEFIT FORM .
Please
do not send copies of cards unless we ask. We do not normally need copies of
the script either, or a fax cover page.
we
believe you. Whatever you tell us, we believe it. Save a poor
trees life!
PATIENT
DATA : This area needs to be filled out completely. We cannot
submit a claim without all the information ask for in this section.
PRIMARY
INSURANCE : If the patients primary insurance is Medicare we
will only need their Medicare number with the letter that is
shown on their card. If the insurance is anything else we need
all the information completed.
SECONDARY
INSURANCE : If the patient has a secondary carrier we need all
the information completed. If they do not have a secondary please
write in this area " no secondary insurance " or check
that box so we are sure you ask and that it was just not omitted.
PHYSICIAN
DATA : All information asked for in this area is required when
submitting a claim. Please be sure to include the NPI number
and the state license number as insurances vary in which one
they require.
PRODUCT
INFORMATION :For every product for which you wish to bill we
need the date of service, the product and the quantity. Occasionally,
a copy of the bill of sale, warranty, delivery signature or other
information is required, contact us for assistance.
ONCE YOU
HAVE SUBMITTED THE PATIENT FOR BILLINGS THE FIRST TIME, PLEASE
DO NOT SEND ANOTHER VERSION (via fax or mail). A SECOND CLAIM
COULD BE GENERATED. Please do not process an existing patient
like they where a new patient.
REMEMBER
:
ONCE submitted,
integrated will process and submit the claim for you. you will
receive payment and the remittance advice (RA), which you must
send to our office. The RA is used to bill the secondary (or
inform you what to bill your patient), resubmit if not paid properly
(it happens even if we do everything right), and purge our files.
If you do not send you remittances for processing, we cannot
support your account correctly and will assume everything got
paid.
.
If
you want to just "practice" make sure you tell us somewhere
on the form that "THIS
IS A TEST".
It's not hard - it does require a rethinking perhaps of how you
collect, prepare and forward your information, but it'll be worth
it ! Besides, the future is digital, and you will be at the forefront
of technology ! By using the web site, we can move forward with
new applications that can make things better (like putting your
patients into Diary Billing, and then you can manage deliveries
with a mouse click), and hold down costs (by making it
easier to do more with less people on our end).
I
hope this helps - let me know .
