Understanding the Need for ECP

ELECTRONIC CLAIMS PROCESSING is the smooth and efficient process of filing claims via your computer modem. Claims are sent to a clearinghouse which edits, formats and transmits them to the proper insurance company or government agency. If errors are found, you, the MedOffice™Professional, will be notified electronically by the clearinghouse within 24-48 hours. You simply correct the errors and resubmit to the clearinghouse for final processing.

Note: Because you will be using MedOffice™ software, the opportunities for making mistakes are few and you will find that, after filing your first 25-50 claims, you'll know exactly what to look for in proofing each claim before you submit it to the clearinghouse.



The MedOffice™ Electronic Claims Processing shortens processing time from 7-20 days! And, some insurance companies allow you to transmit directly to them, bypassing the clearinghouse and saving even more time.
