Filing digital claims disputes: Transparent and trackable
When you have more information to share about a claim that has been denied, filing the dispute digitally is a cost-effective and time-saving alternative to paper and fax. You can feel confident that we have received your claims dispute when you submit it through the digital workflow.
This Claim Status application feature, available on Availity.com, enables a fast, efficient, and streamlined process for filing claim disputes:
- Upload supporting documentation and attach it directly to the claim.
- Use the Appeals Dashboard:
- To review digitally filed disputes.
- To retrieve correspondence related to your disputes.
- For a history of digitally filed disputes.
How to file a digital claim payment dispute:
- Log onto Availity.com.
- Select the Claims & Payments tab.
- Select Claim Status and enter the information needed to retrieve your claim.
- When you have found your claim, select the Dispute button to initiate a dispute (it will be visible when your claim is eligible for a dispute).
- Access your Appeals Dashboard to upload the supporting documents, locate initiated dispute, and complete the dispute request:
- From the Claims & Payments tab select Appeals to access your Appeals Dashboard.
In the past, you may have used the Attachment button and selected the Dispute option to dispute a claim. We’ve eliminated that process to make disputing a claim more trackable and transparent.
