File Electronic Claims with Office Therapy™

Electronic claims submission saves you time and money. By processing insurance claims electronically, you can:

save time



A paper claim can take about 45 days for reimbursement, but the average payment time for electronic claims is 14 days. A practice that submits 200 electronic claims per month may save as much as $516 per month in labor, postage, and office supplies.

How it Works

Office Therapy generates a HIPAA 837 Compliant file containing your claim information using information you have already entered into the program. After this file is created, you may send it to the clearinghouse of your choice using the internet or modem.

The clearinghouse can quickly tell you about problems that may exist in your claim without waiting for the insurance company to inform you. Allowing you to fix a problem and resubmit the claim all in the same day.

The clearinghouse will then send your claims file on to the individual insurance payers for payment.

How to Get Started

Currently Office Therapy generates HIPAA Compliant files for electronic submission. If you deal with only one managed care or insurance company, you may be able to file directly with that company. Although insurance and managed care companies are required to accept HIPAA 837 files, many do not yet have the capability.
