One required element when submitting electronic claims is the claim filing indicator code. It identifies to the payer what type of claim is being submitted. When a patient has multiple insurances, it also indicates which payer is primary.
In DrChrono, we make adding the code to the claim simple. You need to select the Insurance Plan type in the patient's chart, and we'll add the appropriate claim-filling indicator in the background.
- Navigate to the patient's chart
- Click on the Insurance tab> select Primary Insurance.
- Choose Insurance Plan Type and select the payer type from the drop-down.
- Click Save Demographics.
- This will automatically link to the appropriate claim filing indicator on your electronic claim.
