Speed Up Claims Processing

We are always looking for ways to improve the efficiency of administrative processes for hospitals and physicians. The better we can do our jobs, the faster you get paid! As a result, our extensive research has revealed the many benefits of electronic claims filing. Electronic Media Claims (EMC) filing is more efficient because it allows hospitals and physicians to receive payment 5-7 days faster than claims that are filed hardcopy. EMC filing also ensures claims accuracy through system edits. 

With these benefits, our goal is for all hospitals and physicians to file at least 90% of their claims to us electronically. We'll help you! We've set up a corporate task force to focus specifically on developing procedures to make it easier for our healthcare professionals to file claims electronically.

Do you have any questions about filing claims electronically? Ideas for increasing your EMC rates? Please write us! Just e-mail your ideas to us or contact your education specialist.

File Online
Did you know you can file professional, institutional and dental claims online free of charge? Try it, and look for other new features as we continue to make improvements to our Web site.
