For proper payment and application of deductibles and coinsurance, it is important to accurately code all diagnoses and services (according to national coding guidelines). It is particularly important to accurately code because a
member’s level of coverage under his or her benefit plan may vary for different services. You must submit a claim for your services, regardless of whether you have collected the copayment, deductible or coinsurance from the member at
the time of service.
To assist you in understanding how your claims will be paid, UnitedHealthcare’s Claim Estimator includes a feature called Professional Claim Bundling Logic which helps you determine allowable bundling logic and other claims
processing edits for a variety of CPT (CPT is a registered trademark of the American Medical Association) and HCPCS procedure codes. Note: Only bundling logic and other claims processing edits are available under this option.
Pricing and payment calculations are not included.
Allow enough time for your claims to process before sending second submissions or tracers, then check their status online at UnitedHealthcareOnline.com. If you do need to submit second submissions or tracers, be sure to submit them
electronically no sooner than forty-five (45) days after original submission.
Complete claims include the information listed under the Complete Claims Requirements section of this Guide.
We may require additional information for particular types of services, or based on particular circumstances or state requirements. If you have questions about submitting claims to us, please contact Customer Care at the phone number listed on the member’s health care ID card.
