Managing billing for IDD services in the state of Oklahoma can be a complicated process without the right tools at your disposal. Regulations are detailed, deadlines are strict, and accuracy is imperative. For IDD agencies and human service organizations involved in service coordination, staying compliant with the Oklahoma Healthcare Authority (OHCA) requirements is essential.
With Vertex’s Billing Manager, you can simplify billing processes, ensure accurate 835 and 837 file submissions, and stay ahead of regulatory requirements, like those in the SoonerCare Program.
Understanding IDD Billing in Oklahoma
Billing for IDD services like long-term care and insurance company reimbursements involves navigating several administrative rules set by the Oklahoma Healthcare Authority. These include using 837 and 835 files, the two essential types of EDI (Electronic Data Interchange) transactions that streamline the complex world of healthcare claim submissions.
What Are 837 and 835 Files?
For healthcare providers, understanding what are 837 and 835 claims is vital. Here’s a quick breakdown:
- 835 Files: These provide remittance advice and payment information, helping agencies verify payments from insurance companies or programs like the SoonerCare Program.
- 837 Files: These serve as claim forms submitted electronically to request payment for services rendered, making them a must for billing compliance.
Under SoonerCare, Oklahoma’s Medicaid program, providers must submit all claims electronically, including 837 files, within 12 months from the date of service. Ensuring proper claim submission is crucial for providers who wish to qualify for SoonerCare reimbursements and maintain uninterrupted funding for their services.
