Electronic attachments - X12 275 5010

Anthem and Availity are excited to announce the X12 275 5010 version of electronic attachments transactions for claims functionality is now available.

 

The X12 275 5010 version of electronic attachments transactions for claims will:

 

• Bring value by eliminating the need for mailing paper records
• Provide a transaction audit trail/proof of delivery/receipt via the electronic acknowledgment
• Reduce administrative cost associated with manual processing
• Save time waiting for paper correspondents

 

This new functionality includes both solicited and unsolicited attachments.

 

• Solicited attachment - documentation submitted in response to a specific request.
• Unsolicited attachment - documentation is known to be needed and submitted at the same time as the claim.

 

Ability to send a 275 transaction

Your practice management software or billing service/clearinghouse must have the ability to send a 275. We encourage you to have a conversation with them to determine their ability to set up the X12 275 attachment transaction capabilities.
