Can you please look at a claim because I, I do not understand this claim remark for this particular. [AGENT][NEUTRAL] Claim. [CUSTOMER][NEUTRAL] Sure. [AGENT][NEUTRAL] The policy number is 1,834,900. [AGENT][NEUTRAL] And [PII] is on claim number 360. [AGENT][NEUTRAL] 5434. [AGENT][NEUTRAL] The patient is [PII]. [AGENT][NEUTRAL] So I get the office visits are not covered. The other code is for a venal puncture. [AGENT][NEGATIVE] And that denial paragraph. [AGENT][NEUTRAL] Says that we sent. [AGENT][NEUTRAL] Oh [AGENT][NEUTRAL] We've sent a release of authorization. [CUSTOMER][NEUTRAL] Uh, let's see. [AGENT][NEUTRAL] For medical providers? [CUSTOMER][NEUTRAL] Yeah, so it looks like we sent out documentation to them to complete. It looks like we sent out an authorization form for them to sign and date along with information regarding the name. [CUSTOMER][NEUTRAL] Um, addressing and help a number of the medical providers. And so once the insured sends back that information completed to us, then we'll, they'll be able to um continue processing the claim. [AGENT][NEGATIVE] But we received the claim form, OK, but we've received the claim from the provider that's what I'm not understanding. [AGENT][NEGATIVE] And we denied part of it as office visits are not covered and then we're requesting that other for a venna puncture. [AGENT][NEUTRAL] And the provider filed the claim. [CUSTOMER][NEUTRAL] Yes, it looks like we're needing to get mhm so in order for us to get additional information for the claim, the insured has to authorize that and if we don't have an authorization on file then the provider will not respond to us if we have like if we're asking for additional information. [AGENT][NEUTRAL] I [AGENT][NEUTRAL] OK. [AGENT][NEUTRAL] OK, I've just never seen this. [AGENT][NEUTRAL] Code used [AGENT][NEUTRAL] On a meddling policy when the provider filed the claim. [CUSTOMER][NEUTRAL] Mhm. [AGENT][NEUTRAL] OK. [CUSTOMER][NEUTRAL] Yeah, it just, it's just for us for us to be able to correspond back with the provider. It's just because of the HIPAA. [CUSTOMER][NEUTRAL] If it's any additional information regarding the claim, then unless we have an authorization on file from the insured, then they will not respond to us. [AGENT][NEUTRAL] OK, so I just read that remark, that full paragraph to this lady on the line? [CUSTOMER][NEUTRAL] Um, [PII]t's see, yes, yeah, it's always starting on the second line, um. [AGENT][NEUTRAL] Uh-huh. [CUSTOMER][NEUTRAL] Yeah, so she should have received and let's see what date this claim was processed. [CUSTOMER][NEUTRAL] Um, [CUSTOMER][NEUTRAL] Oh, she has she not received any of those documents? [AGENT][NEUTRAL] The doctor's office? [CUSTOMER][NEUTRAL] But what was this? [AGENT][NEUTRAL] I'm talking to the doctor's office. No, I'm talking to the provider that filed the claim. [CUSTOMER][NEUTRAL] The, are you talking to the insured or the doctor? [CUSTOMER][NEUTRAL] Oh, OK. [CUSTOMER][NEUTRAL] OK. I know I thought you were talking to the insured, um. [AGENT][NEUTRAL] Yeah, no, no, no. The doctor's office. [CUSTOMER][NEUTRAL] Uh yes. Um, give me just a second. Let me just take a look here. [AGENT][NEUTRAL] Yeah, that's why I was, I mean, I was just confused if the doctor's office filed the claim. [AGENT][NEUTRAL] I've, I've just not seen this remark on a med link claim. [AGENT][NEUTRAL] When a provider file the claim. [CUSTOMER][NEUTRAL] Actually, do you mind if I put you on hold for just a second while I just take a look and see what we sent? [AGENT][POSITIVE] Yeah, sure. Yeah, no, no, yeah, that would be great. I, I, yeah, cause I was trying to avoid a hub ticket, but I also just [CUSTOMER][POSITIVE] OK, thank you. [AGENT][NEUTRAL] Didn't know if that remark was correct. [AGENT][NEUTRAL] Kind of [CUSTOMER][NEUTRAL] OK, sure, give me just a second. [AGENT][NEUTRAL] OK, thanks, [PII]. [AGENT][NEUTRAL] Yes. [CUSTOMER][NEUTRAL] OK, sorry about that, [PII] are you still there? [AGENT][NEUTRAL] Oh, that's OK. Yeah, I am. Uh-huh. [CUSTOMER][NEUTRAL] Yeah, so I checked with the um adjuster and yes, the code is correct that we normally use this code for a provider claim you know it's a provider claim, but because we need additional information from them and that in order to get it we need an authorization on file for the physician to respond back to us. [AGENT][NEUTRAL] OK. [AGENT][NEUTRAL] OK. All right. [AGENT][NEUTRAL] OK, because the claim and also just an FYI the claim, whatever claim document was received is not up under that claim number. I mean like. [AGENT][NEUTRAL] When we do the shortcut from EOBI clicking on the claim number to have the documents opening on base, you know. [AGENT][NEUTRAL] The claim is not under that claim number. [AGENT][NEUTRAL] It's only a provider EOB and a dental EOB. I mean, I mean, um. [CUSTOMER][NEUTRAL] OK. [AGENT][NEUTRAL] The EOB to the insured, but there's not a claim. [AGENT][NEUTRAL] The claims information is not in. [CUSTOMER][NEUTRAL] Oh OK, yeah, sometimes you have to open it up like in like the policy under the policy number sometimes that's what I'll do and then I'll, and usually all the documents should be under the policy number if it's not under the claim number. [AGENT][NEUTRAL] Yeah. [AGENT][NEUTRAL] Yeah, well. [AGENT][NEUTRAL] Yeah, but we don't know which is which when we're on a call, when you do it like that. There's a lot of claim, it won't. [CUSTOMER][NEUTRAL] Oh yeah. You can go by the reported date. [AGENT][NEUTRAL] You know what I mean? They're all just. [CUSTOMER][NEUTRAL] That that's how I just match it up by the reported date and um for that claim number and sometimes they'll have the claim number listed too when you look at under the policy um I don't know why it does that sometimes but yeah that's just how I sometimes go around it. [AGENT][NEUTRAL] OK. [AGENT][NEUTRAL] Yeah. [AGENT][POSITIVE] Gotcha. All right. Well, thank you for checking for me on that. I appreciate you. [CUSTOMER][POSITIVE] Sure, you're welcome. [AGENT][POSITIVE] OK, [PII]. Have a good afternoon. [CUSTOMER][POSITIVE] Uh thanks you too. [AGENT][POSITIVE] Thanks, thanks, bye bye. [CUSTOMER][NEUTRAL] Bye-bye. [AGENT][POSITIVE] [PII], thank you very much for holding for me. [AGENT][NEUTRAL] [PII], are you still there? [CUSTOMER][NEUTRAL] Yes. [AGENT][NEUTRAL] OK, so first off, the first code, as I explained to you, the office visit is not covered. The other code was denied, and I will be happy to read you the remark. [AGENT][NEUTRAL] Receipt of your claim is it not. [CUSTOMER][NEUTRAL] I'm sorry, you're very far from the mic. I, I can't hear you. [AGENT][NEUTRAL] No, [PII], I'm, I'm right on the microphone. [AGENT][NEUTRAL] So it must be something on your end. [CUSTOMER][NEUTRAL] OK. [CUSTOMER][NEUTRAL] Hello? [AGENT][NEUTRAL] Yes ma'am. Can you hear me? [CUSTOMER][NEUTRAL] Yeah, now it's fine. So, when was it denied actually? [AGENT][NEUTRAL] Let me go back and give you that information again. [AGENT][NEGATIVE] It was denied on [PII]. It was received on [PII], denied on [PII]. The first reason for the denial is office visits are not covered, and the second remark denial remark for the second code states receipt of your claim is acknowledged. However, in order to provide further consideration of this claim. [AGENT][NEUTRAL] We will need to request additional information from the patient's healthcare provider and authorization to allow the disclosure of protected health information has been mailed to the patient. Once this form is returned to us along with the information regarding the names, addresses, and telephone numbers of the medical provider, we will request additional information to continue reviewing your claim. [CUSTOMER][NEUTRAL] One minute. [AGENT][NEUTRAL] Mhm. [AGENT][NEUTRAL] Hm [CUSTOMER][NEUTRAL] So 36415 code was denied for additional information. [AGENT][POSITIVE] That is correct. [AGENT][NEUTRAL] We are. [CUSTOMER][NEUTRAL] What additional information is needed? [AGENT][NEUTRAL] We're awaiting the signed release that was sent to the patient.
