Claim Status <2>
- If you are part of a group, remember to use the group NPI, PTAN and TIN for authentication purposes.
When Claim Status is selected, the IVR will request and collect the following elements:
- NPI
- PTAN
- Last five digits of the TIN
Once the provider authentication elements have been verified, the IVR will offer the option to hear information about pending, approved to pay and finalized claim count information.
If yes, the IVR will relay available information regarding pending, approved to pay (total amount of all claims approved to pay and total amount of claims approved to pay within 0–14 days) and finalized claims if there are claims pending on payment floor.
If no, or you have already received requested payment floor information, the IVR will request the following:
- HICN or MBI
- Refer to the Phonetic Alphabet for assistance with speaking alpha characters
