Electronic claims couldn’t be easier! The Claims Processing Screen displays claims for a particular form type. Claims may be selected or de-selected for all patients. In most cases, claims are batch processed and sent all at once. However, claims can be selected and sent individually, if needed. 

Claims can be edited from the Electronic Claims area of MicroMD. A patient’s claim is selected and the modify claim button is clicked to bring up the screen below. From this screen changes can be made to the diagnoses, dates, type of service, place of service, modifiers, etc.

The MORE button on the Edit Claim screen displays the screen to the right (light blue and yellow). This allows corrections to be made to the payment record from the primary plan when printing HCFA-1500 claims to the secondary plans. This screen also has fields available to assist in resubmitting claims to Medicaid.

Easily refile claims individually or by the batch by simply changing the status of the claim(s). Use the drop-down list to change the claim status for individual claims or click the Claim Status Reset icon to change the status for the entire batch.

At this point, additional documentation may be added to any procedure relating to this claim. Selecting the Document icon displays the document screen. Up to 160 characters can be attached to the CPT code when it is electronically submitted.

AUTO POSTING is a form of electronic remittance in which the practice is able to connect to the insurance carrier’s computer and download its EOMB for a particular batch of claims. Next, the system displays all of the claims for that batch, as illustrated to the right. One
	click-and the system automatically posts the payment, posts the write-off, enters into the patient’s record that a secondary claim has been crossed over by the primary (if available), posts to the patient’s record the amount applied to the patient’s deductible, and creates any secondary claims not being processed by the primary insurance company.

Three reports can then be printed: The Auto Payment Posting Report shows the status of all the claims, the amount allowed, amount paid, written off, and applied to the deductible, the Exception Report shows what was not posted, and the Secondary EOB report prints the
EOB information for every secondary claim that needs to be processed on a separate sheet
of paper.
