Electronic Media Claims Benefits
|
TRICARE requires network providers to file their claims electronically with the appropriate HIPAA compliant standard electronic claims format. Non-network providers are encouraged to file their claims electronically as well.
There are many benefits from filing TRICARE claims electronically. These benefits include:
-
Improved cash flow - On average, TRICARE electronic claims process two to three weeks faster than paper claims. This combined with the elimination of mail time means that you will receive your TRICARE payments much faster if you file your TRICARE claims electronically.
-
Reduced postage and paper handling costs
-
Eliminates data entry errors
-
Better audit trail - Electronic media claims (EMC) response reports show you which claims were accepted for processing. Also, front-end EMC edits give you much quicker feedback regarding problems with your claims, allowing you to correct and resubmit quickly instead of taking weeks.
-
Real-time claims processing - if you're using XPressClaimSM, you can submit your claims online and instantly find out how much TRICARE will pay.
-
Electronic remittance advice (ERA) and electronic funds transfer (EFT) - network providers who file all of their TRICARE claims electronically are eligible to receive ERAs and EFTs.
