How to Batch Submit Claims from the Billing Center

You have the option to submit all insurance claims at once. This means that you will be sending claims for multiple patients to their corresponding insurance providers. This is a useful tool in zHealth that will allow you to send out all claims in one go that have not previously been billed out to the patients’ insurance companies.

Note 1: It is your responsibility to verify all the information related to patient demographics, service codes (ICD-10 and CPT codes), and insurance companies’ details before generating and submitting claims. The below steps should be followed if you want to submit claims at the patient level. Check here to know how to batch submit claims at the patient level.

Note 2: In the event of encountering a duplicate claim during batch submission, it is advised to promptly remove the duplicate claim and resubmit it. Ensuring the elimination of duplicate claims is essential for accurate and efficient processing.

1. At the top right corner of the zHealth Dashboard, you will see Your Name (Provider Name). Hover the cursor over your name and a drop-down menu will open.

Note: 
EDI and Paper Submissions for Work Compensation:
  • Whether the claim is related to work compensation and submitted via EDI or paper, the HCFA form will auto-populate the work compensation number in Box 11b (Other Claim ID) based on the work compensation insurance ID entered in the patient chart.

Auto Accident Submissions:

  • In the case of auto accident claims, if submitted via EDI, the other claim ID in Box 11b on the HCFA form will not auto-populate. Please manually provide the necessary information.
  • For auto accident claims submitted via paper, the other claim ID in Box 11b on the HCFA form will auto-populate.
3. If the "Work compensation" or "Auto Accident" option is marked as "yes" in the Patient Chart, the insurance ID associated with it will be displayed in Box 11b of the HCFA Form. Please make sure to add the relevant insurance ID to the patient chart for accurate and consistent information.
After Batch Submission
Once the process is completed, you will want to view the status of each claim. The claims are first submitted to the clearinghouse (Office Ally) and then the clearinghouse sends it to the insurance company. If any errors are detected, then you will be notified of the same after 48 hours. You can track the status of a claim at the zHealth Billing Center dashboard and fix them.
