- ProClaim – A Regence dial-up product, ProClaim is free to UHIN members.

Paper Claims

However, UUHP would prefer that providers submit claims electronically, so if you need assistance on how to send EDI claims please contact University Of Utah Health Plan.
University Of Utah Health Plan Claims Submitting Tips
Attachments
The 5010 837 transaction allows for providers to submit a claim electronically while submitting attachments on paper. Elements in the file will indicate if you are sending an attachment, the type of attachment you are sending, and identification number for the attachment and the mode for sending the attachment (fax, email, etc.).
University Of Utah Health Plan feels this is a valuable tool and would ask that providers who submit an electronic claim and also submit a paper attachment for that claim to use these fields. When sending UUHP an attachment, please verify that the identification number that was provided in the electronic file is also on the attachment so we can identify the claim that the attachment belongs to. University Of Utah Health Plan will pend all claims that you have indicated have an attachment until UUHP have received that attachment.
Corrected Claims
UUHP can accept corrected claims by EDI and UUHP prefers to receive claims by EDI. There are two ways a provider may submit a corrected claim.
- Claim Header Level: Place a code 7 in the CLM05-3 segment (see 5010 Implementation Guides on Claim Frequency Type Code, page 161)
- Service Line Level: Place a CC modifier on the service line.
Only one method is required to submit a corrected claim, UUHP does not need to have both codes sent on a claim.
Notes
Claim notes, claim line notes (professional claims only), and claim billing notes (institutional claims only) can be submitted in the electronic file. UUHP will not know if the claim note(s) affect the claim payment, therefore UUHP will pend any claims with claim notes for review. If the notes you are submitting do not affect claim payment the claims will take longer to process as they will require manual review, so we ask that you limit claim notes to only information such as:
- Accident details
- Auto or subrogation detail
- Any special circumstances.
