TRANSCRIPT:

1. One month is all it should take:
You should receive payouts from claims 30 days or less after the insurance company receives the claim.

2. Legitimize your email:
Free email providers are not HIPAA-compliant, so avoid getting a potential violation by having an email as [email protected] (GSuite is one option) rather than [email protected], for instance.

3. Make deadline:
Insurance companies will give you anywhere from 90 days to 18 months to file an insurance claim, so it’s up to you to know the various deadlines and submit your claims on time, or else they will most likely be denied.

4. Get it done quickly:
Medical documentation should be reviewed immediately and checked for thoroughness, and claims should be submitted within 72 hours.
Sometimes old school is better:
When applying a quick fix to a denied claim, try faxing it over to the insurance company for the fastest results.

5. Go direct:
It’s better to submit claims directly to Medicaid, Medicare, and Blue Cross Blue Shield, as clearinghouses can charge 40 cents for each of those respective claims submitted to them and/or may limit the number of claims you send them.
