Enhancing claims attachment processes through digital applications

Please note, this communication applies to Anthem HealthKeepers Plus, Medallion and Anthem HealthKeepers Plus, Commonwealth Coordinated Care Plus (Anthem CCC Plus) offered by HealthKeepers, Inc.

 

Submitting attachments electronically is the most efficient way for you to receive your claim payments faster. That’s why we’ve made submitting digital claims attachments easier, more intuitive and streamlined. You can now submit your claims attachments through the Claims Status Inquiry application on Availity.com.* Submitting attachments electronically is the most efficient way for you to receive your claim payments faster.

 

Submitting attachments electronically:

 

  • Reduces costs associated with manual submission.
  • Reduces errors associated with matching the claim when attachments are submitted manually.
  • Reduces delays in payments.
  • Saves time: no need to copy, fax, or mail.
  • Reduces the exchange of unnecessary member information and too much personal health information sharing.


If your workflow for attachments is through electronic data interchange (EDI) submissions or directly through the Availity application, we have a solution for that.
