The Insurance Information Form
Purpose:
The Insurance Information form provides a place to record the identity and contact information for each payer organization. You will also go to this window to perform billing tasks including electronic billing and add or edit MNT Services and pricing. You may also print certain reports. These include a listing all CPT codes and a list of patients that are associated with this payer.
Function:
This button is found on the main Control Panel. Enter the contact information for each payer or insurance company you plan to bill. Use the navigation tool at the lower left corner to mover or move to a new record.
The ‘Payer ID’ is a number that appears on the CMS 1500 form or on the electronic billing record that identifies the payer. If you are billing electronically, then it is important to include this number.
Click the ‘Add/Edit Services’ to view or edit information about the products and services you provide. This will allow you to enter the service or product category, code (including CPT codes), descriptions and amount you regularly charge. Click ‘View Lists’ to print a report of all products and services.
Click the ‘Billing’ button to go to the Billing and Claims Utility. Here you will be able to process your electronic claims and reconcile billing.
Notes:
When you copy a patient’s insurance information card, check that you don’t already have that payer in your database. You may have it by a slightly different name. But, be aware that it’s not unusual for different payers to have the same electronic ‘Payer ID.’ .
