ELECTRONIC DATA INTERCHANGE (EDI)

The Administrative Simplification Compliance Act (ASCA) requires that providers submit claims to Medicare electronically to be considered for payment, with a limited number of exceptions. If a provider meets one of the exceptions, the provider is waived for a period of two years.
Exceptions to this requirement, include:

•Small providers, defined as a physician, practitioner, or supplier with less than 10 full time equivalent employees
• Roster billers of Medicare covered mass immunizations
• Claims for payment under Medicare demonstration projects when information is required that cannot be submitted electronically
• Claims where Medicare is the tertiary payer to two (or more) primary payers , and
• Dental claims.
