EmblemHealth Electronic Claims Submission Requirements
EmblemHealth Electronic Claims should not be duplicated. When duplicate claims are submitted, vendor potentially delays claims processing and create confusion for the member. Attachments cannot be submitted electronically at this time. However, most claims should be submitted electronically. If supporting documentation is required for the settlement of a vendor claim, EmblemHealth will request it.
Claims Submission for Unlisted Procedure or Service Codes
In accordance with American Medical Association Current Procedural Terminology (CPT)/Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System (HCPCS) reporting guidelines, please use the Unlisted Procedure or Service Code Form to submit claims for unpublished procedure or service codes. This information will be used to determine appropriate payment and claim adjudication in conjunction with the member’s benefit plan.
