Provide Submission Status
The state communicates claims status throughout the submission and payment processes and in response to inquiry. If there are correctable errors in a claims submission, the system suspends the claims, attaches pre-defined reason code(s) to suspended claims, and communicates those errors to the provider for correction. The system associates applicable error or reason code(s) for all statuses (e.g., rejected, suspended, denied, approved for payment, paid) and communicates those to the submitter. The system shows providers, case managers and members current submission status through one or more of the following: - Automatic notices as appropriate based on claims decision or suspension. - Explanation of Benefits (EOB). - Providing prompt response to inquiries regarding the status of any claim through a variety of appropriate technologies, and tracking and monitoring responses to the inquiries. - Application programming interface (API)
- Count/percentage of claims suspended for correction/corrected by reason code.
- Count/percentage of inquiries/responses/communications by submission/response channel.
