How can I process an Electronic Claim?

The HIPAA Claim Status Responder application makes it simple to process and view Electronic Claims. Follow the instructions below to open a single EDI file and display its details in an easy-to-read table format:

 

1.Go to File > Open in the main menu window.

 

 

Alternatively, click the "Open Document" icon in the Taskbar.

 

 

2.Browse through the folders and select a 276file. Then, click "Open."

 

 

Note: Only files in "ANSI 276" format can be opened with the HIPAA Claim Status Responder application. An error message will be displayed if you select a file in a different format.

 

 

3.Select one of the options in the "Process" box. In our example, we selected the "Manual Process" mode.

 

 

4.The file is now open. Click the "Run" button in either the Taskbar or at the bottom of the Info Bar to process the file.

 

 

5.When you click the "Run" button, the file will be parsed and the information displayed. Since in our example the output mode is "Screen," the claim is displayed in a separate window. See Displaying Claim Status Responses.
