Internet Claim Entry

Several of HealthPartners contracted clearinghouses offer Direct Data Entry (DDE) solutions through the internet to providers that do not have system capability to submit claims electronically. Contact the clearinghouses that offer DDE to obtain more information.

Cost

Interface and installation fees for claim submission and remittance advice are dependent upon the facility, annual claim volume and other determining factors.

Other connection costs may be incurred and are the responsibility of the provider.

In assessing your electronic capabilities, you may need to ask your software vendor the following questions:

• Is there the capability to send claims electronically?
• What clearinghouse(s) are claims submitted through?
• Which payers receive claims electronically from your vendor?
• What is the installation fee?

What to expect after the clearinghouse has been contacted:

• Testing may be required by the clearinghouse to ensure that compliance standards are met. Please contact them directly to determine if testing is required.
• HealthPartners clearinghouse will contact the originator of the request (provider, vendor, billing service) and communicate a production date or validate any information on that does not match HealthPartners records.
• Production status will be established.
