Submit COB claims electronically

Thanks to provider awareness of the benefits of abandoning paper and adopting electronic claims, Priority Health now receives more than 90% of submitted claims electronically. The largest source of paper claims are those that contain COB information. We do not require you to submit COB claims on paper; in fact, we prefer electronic submission.

To submit your electronic claims, include the other payer's identification, dollar amounts and adjustment reason codes. This information is simply copied from the other paper's electronic remittance advice (835). If you received a paper remittance, you may need to convert any non-HIPAA reason codes to the standard HIPAA codes. Work with your practice management system vendor to initiate the process.
