5.1 E-Claim Tracking: Tracking Filed Electronic Claims Activity

Once claims are filed electronically this is where you can track activity & where Office Ally will provide live status updates on claims approvals & rejections.
TRACKING ELECTRONIC CLAIMS ACTIVITY AFTER CLAIMS HAVE BEEN FILED
Within 24 hours Office Ally will provide an update indicating that claims have been received. You may receive a second status update directly from the Insurance Co. within 5-7 days. This will appear as a 'Payer' status update.
Go To: BILLING > PAYMENTS > E-CLAIM TRACKING

Not all Insurance Co.'s respond electronically on claims/rejections, and after 7 days no further live updates will appear on batches. At this stage, you are simply waiting on EOB's/ERA's to be received from the Payer/Insurance Co.

UNDERSTANDING & MANAGING UPDATES & STATUS TYPES:

    • Awaiting: The initial status on a filed claims batch will show Awaiting until Office Ally processes the claims & provides an updated back into the system.
    • ACCEPTED status (in Green)- means Office Ally processed the claims batch and they will be forwarded to the respective payers.
    • ACCEPTED* status with a Red * Asterisk – means that one or more claims within the batch have been rejected.
    • REJECTED status (in Red) means the entire batch has been rejected.
    • DETAILS: Click on the 'Details' box (on left) to pop-open batch and view all claims details.
    • OA Claim ID: Office Ally will assign a 10 Digit 'OA Claim ID' Number (on left)
    • View Individual Claim Status' & Rejection Reasons: To view individual rejections, click DETAILS on a batch & click on the Blue+Tab (on left) for any individual claim to view further details.
    • Print Errors & Print All: Clicking either option will display an entire inventory of all rejection reasons for all claims in that batch and you can print this report.
    • To Refile An Individual Claim: Claims can be placed into Refile status by clicking on the blue 'REFILE' tab (on right)
    • This will place the claim in the *'Print/Send Claims' page where you can then further manage the claim & make any necessary edits before refiling.
    • Clicking on the claim 'DOS' MM/DD/YYYY provides direct access the HCFA details where you can make edits.


(See: Refiling Claims for further instructions)

Within 7 days, if a Payer does not provide any electronic status updates in return individual claims may remain in 'Awaiting' status which simply means that the Payer had nothing to report back and you are now awaiting your EOB's/ERA's.Office Ally extends customer service to all CF clients and you can call them to inquire about a claim by referencing the 10 digit OA Claim ID number on claims.
