This menu option is used to electronically submit groups of Insurance billing for patients' accounts. Very often a client's billing is set for automation so this screen would be most useful for manually submitting specific groups of claims.
Create a group of electronic claims in Intellect.
Note: For Tele Com billing and rebilling, these conditions must exist:
• A charge/date of service exists within the requested date range.
• The requested insurance(s) is listed as one of the patient's insurance screen(s).
• The date(s) of service must fall within the patient's insurance screen's <Coverage From> and <Coverage To> date range.
• Utility --►Insurance --►Insurance <Electronic Billing> must have a value that matches the <Carrier Type> on this screen.
• Utility --► Insurance --► Tele Com must be completed according to the carrier's specifications.
• An account set up with a receiving agency.
• A carrier-approved method of transmittal: modem or secure FTP (SFTP) or FTP. Additionally, electronic billing can now use SFTP (Secure File Transfer Protocol) with Central Coast Alliance. Offices interested in submitting to Central Coast Alliance using STP, please contact Prime Clinical Systems Support Department for assistance in setting up the system.
Learn more about how Medicare EDI claims are processed.
Note: Because some clearinghouses and/or payers require procedures to be transmitted in the order of entry, Intellect accommodates that requirement. The Electronic Claims are sorted by the patient account number, the date the charges were posted, and the order in which the procedures were entered.
Updates:
Effective version 20.10.22, A new segment was added to the ANSI 837P file - CLM REF D9. Note: The REF D9 is already included in the 837I.
To Include this segment in the ANSI 837P, the Utility --►Insurance --►Telecom <Clearing House> field must = N.
This new segment is required when this information is deemed necessary by transmission intermediaries (Automated Clearinghouses, and others) who need to attach their own unique claim number.
TR3 Notes: 1. Although this REF is supplied for transmission intermediaries to attach their own unique claim number to a claim, 837-recipients are not required under HIPAA to return this number in any HIPAA transaction. Trading partners may voluntarily agree to this interaction if they wish.

Effective version 20.10.22, Prime Clinical was notified by a client that the Zirmed clearing house made changes to the sftp server. The client also sent us the email from Zirmed stating the deployment date for the new changes was 9/27/2020. For reference:

Action Required: Update SFTP settings by September 27th, 2020 to continue transferring files with Waystar |
09/24/2020 |
An update to your SFTP settings is required to continue transferring files to/from Waystar.
These required changes only apply if you connect to SSH FTP Waystar’s host “sshftp.waystar.com” which is also known as “sshftp.zirmed.com"
Reason for Notice
Please read this notification carefully, as this transition will require changes on your side. If these changes are not made as recommended, there is a high likelihood that your file transfer process will fail.
What you need to do now:
1. Share this notice with your IT team and/or Practice Management (whoever handles your file transfer application)
2. Block time on your IT and/or Practice Management's calendar before September 27th to complete testing using provided test site + instructions
3. On September 27th make the update
Zirmed's change also included a change to the URL that was currently being used. In response to Zirmed's change, this Prime Clinical Systems release includes programming changes to meet the new URL requirements.
Effective version 20.10.22, Prime Clinical received an email from Office Ally indicating that a new URL will be launched for sftp connection. This change affects any transactions you currently have going back and forth to Office Ally via the OnStaff/Intellect program.
Email from Office Ally:
Office Ally is updating our EFT server. With this change, we are also updating our URL.
Current: ftp.officeally.com
New: ftp10.officeally.com
The new server is currently live. All usernames/passwords have been brought over so no changes need to be made on that end. I do not have a hard cutover date as of right now. I know our team is wanting to move everyone over as quickly as possible.
We knew we were going to be making an update to our server, but I was unaware that the URL would be changing.
We are working on figuring out how to get this information out to all of our SFTP users. We hope to have an answer on this soon.
.
In response to Office Ally's change, this Prime Clinical Systems release includes programming changes to meet the new URL requirements.
In software versions prior to 15.03.10, claims submitted without the member out-of-pocket information were being rejected for some payers. Effective version 15.03.10, when a value greater than zero is submitted in the AMT segment, a CAS segment (Copay, Deductible, and Coinsurance) MUST ** be submitted in Loop 2430, WITH a group code PR (patient responsibility) indicator AND a reason code indicator of 1 (deductible), 2 (coinsurance), or 3 (copay) in the CAS*PR* segment. This change was made especially for Health Net insurance, however, this can apply to any insurance. Note: At the time of this release, this option is only available for professional claims.
To accommodate this change, two drop-down options were added:
• Utility --►Insurance --►Insurance, <Include Payment> field, option C: Include CoPay/Ded IN ANSI 837P (Electronic billing only)
• Utility --►Insurance --►Telecom, <Special Requirement> field, option H: Include copayment
Both options must be selected for the EB to include the correct loops and segments.
Attention: When the clearinghouse accepts electronic claims with attachments, then the PDF files saved in the EB_ATTACHMENT folder and associated with a claim on the Charges --► Encounter screen are submitted electronically with the claims. At this time the only partnered vendor accepting attachments electronically is WorkCompEDI.
NOTE: Prior to submitting electronic claims with attachments, the <Report Type Code>, <Report Transmission Code> and <Identification Code> fields must be completed on the Charges --► Encounter screen associated with the charge.
Effective version 15.03.10, when an attachment file is imported from PCM into the EB_ATTACHMENT folder as a corrupt file, an internal function deletes the corrupt file and then continuously makes attempts to reload the attachment. Because this is an internal function, no actions are required.
Effective version 13.12.12, when Utility --►Category <POS Type> is set to send a proof of service packet as part of the electronic attachments, the file now includes segment ‘K3’ to indicate the parties that WorkCompEDI will serve after receiving the Workers’ Compensation claims. In order for the K3 Qualifier to populate in the EB file, the Utility --►Insurance --►Telecom <Special Requirement> must be equal to ‘W’.
ATTENTION: In all versions prior to 9.12.10, when billing the secondary carrier the electronic claim would bill using the same procedure code as the primary insurance. Effective version 9.12.10, the secondary claim is billed using either Utility --►Procedure --►Procedure <Code R>, <Code C>, or <Code E> dependent on the Utility --►Insurance <Code R/C/E/U> field for the secondary insurance.
ATTENTION: Effective version 9.12.10, to meet the requirements for Cahaba billing, an optional data segment in the electronic claim file has been removed.
