that specific payer. 2. Perform one of the following:

The first message the “Subscriber and Subscriber ID not found” means the UHC could not find this subscriber OR subscriber number in their system. The second message the “Subscriber and Subscriber ID Mismatched” means that UHC had either a different name or a different subscriber ID in their system. RESOLUTION: Verify the patient’s insurance information

1. Edit the subscriber information on the simple view or the insurance view, save and resubmit.

Common Batch Errors “Error during batch processing” is an error that could occur, it may mean that the file you created was not a good claim file, or at least not in the format that we were expecting it to be in. “Error: Duplicate batch detected” is an error which means that the file you just uploaded was an exact duplicate of a previously uploaded file. You should go back to your practice management system and go through all the steps to recreate the file. You should be able to do this without re-keying the claims. “Error: During X12 batch processing” is a file level error that prevents the file from even being uploaded. A cause for this error would be a problem with the integrity of the file. (e.g., the file was missing the submitter id, or data was missing that is required in the 837 Companion Guide.)

All information on this screen is maintained by ZirMed. Under Search For - you have the capability to search for a payer by using either the Name or Payer ID Number. The Type category also allows you to narrow the search by choosing the payer type from the drop-down box (e.g. Commercial, Medicare, Medicaid, Blue Cross/ Blue Shield, etc.). If you cannot locate a payer on this list, the Payer may still be able to accept electronic claims. You can verify this by contacting the Payer directly and asking if they accept electronic claims. If they do, ask them for their "Electronic Payer ID". For those payers who cannot accept an electronic claim, ZirMed can create a paper claim and mail it to the Payer on your behalf set the payer ID to 98999.

Name Matching Note: CCA customers should never have to Name Match. If you receive an error for Name Matching, begin by checking the payer list to determine the correct Payer ID. Correct the Payer ID on the ZirMed edit screen and then correct the payer in the CCA software.

Claims Billing Report The Claims Billing Report is a two step process that first produces a summary of all claims received by ZirMed within a given date range. You may select one of the pre-defined Date Ranges or you may create a Custom range. If you are a billing service (i.e. submit claims for more than one facility), you can further specify a facility by keying in all or part of the facility's name. Leaving this blank will display all facilities' data. You can also specify if you want the totals for Electronic and Paper to be separated or combined. Additionally, you can specify the sort sequence (i.e. domain by payer, domain by account, or domain by account by payer. Once you have specified your search criteria, click on Submit. A new window will appear, showing the number of claims based on the search criteria entered. There may be differences between the total number of claims from this report and the total number of claims from the Claims Summary Report for the same period. This is because the Claims Summary Report total reflects the number of claims, whereas the Claims Activity Report total reflects the number of times a claim is submitted and resubmitted. This report includes resubmitted claims. NOTE: These claims may still have been rejected by the payer.

Expanded Rejection Analysis The Expanded Rejection Analysis report is a summary of all claims that have ever rejected, regardless of their current status, sorted by either the Message or by the Payer. If a claim was rejected by ZirMed, and you filter by Payer, those claims will not display. Using this report can help your practice identify and correct problem areas such as: consistent data entry errors; needed updates for your Practice Management System; changes to ZirMed’s system set-up; or individuals who may benefit from additional training. The date range entered will select claims based on the date ZirMed first received the claims. Under the Additional Criteria section, you can further refine your search by entering certain keywords, by specifying the minimum number of times a rejection occurred, or by including (excluding) hidden claims. HELPFUL HINT: Print this monthly as part of your month end routine and review for recurring errors.

Hidden Claims The Hidden Claims Report will list those claims currently with a Hidden status. The date range entered will select claims based on the date ZirMed first received the claims. The claims display in descending Submit date sequence (i.e. most recent claims first). It will also display the status and text of when the claim was hidden. Under the Additional Criteria section, you can further refine your search by entering certain keywords.

27 Proprietary Information

Hidden Claims, cont’d If you see a claim on this report that should not be hidden:

• Go to the Claims tab • Search for the claim (be sure to check "Include Hidden" in your search criteria) • Remove the Hidden checkmark for the claim • Click on Save Hidden Status

This will help you monitor what claims specifically have been hidden; it should be printed regularly.

Discarded Claims Since ZirMed only notates that a claim was matched to Discard Claims, and does not keep the claim, this report will display information on those claims. If a claim was matched to “Discard Claims” in error, you will need to:

• “Un-Match” the Payer, in Name Matching (Show Matched Names) • Regenerate the claim from your Practice Management System • The claim will now reject for Name Matching • Match the rejected claim to the correct payer • Resubmit the claim

CCA customers should NEVER have discarded claims. Please contact your CCA Support Team if you see discarded claims within your Batch Status or this report.

28 Proprietary Information

Claims Summary This report will give you a current snap-shot in a summary format of all claims submitted to ZirMed for a given date range. From the drop-down box you can choose the sequence of the report by selecting Batch ID, Date, or Payer. After specifying the Date Range, click on Submit and the report will appear in a new window. In addition to showing the total number (and amount) of claims, this report also shows the number (and amount) of claims currently rejected, hidden, and submitted to Payers or Intermediaries. Since it reflects the current status of a claim, resubmitted claims show only one time. There may be discrepancies between the total number of claims from this report and the total number of claims from the Claims Activity Report for the same period. This is because the Claims Summary Report total reflects the number of claims, whereas the Claims Activity Report total reflects the number of times a claim is submitted and resubmitted. NOTE: Only original submissions will appear on this report.

This report should be printed monthly to show your totals for the month.

Claims Number Cross Reference Some Payers’ remittances show only the ZirMed transaction ID (Prefix) along with all (or a portion) of the patient’s account number. This report will allow you to match the ZirMed transaction ID to your internally assigned patient claim number so the payments can be applied to the correct patients’ accounts. Each time a claim is submitted to ZirMed for processing, a unique identifier is assigned to the transaction. This identifier should be used to identify claims in order to properly post payment and adjustments to the patient's account within your Practice Management System. This report can be created for all Payers within a given date range, or, by selecting a single Payer from the lookup menu, it can be Payer specific. The "New Instance ID" will be the number appended to the beginning of your Patient Account Number. Only print this as needed.
