Q: What is the billing process?

A: To avoid claim processing delays, each billing must be completed with all the required information (please see below). We prefer that you send your claims through Electronic Data Interchange (EDI). To send claims through EDI you must work with UHIN to obtain your trading partner number. Once you've received your trading partner number, you may begin submitting EDI claims to EMI Health's trading partner number HT000214-001. Test claims are not required. If you have questions, call our Provider Assist Line at 801-262-7975 or toll free at 800-644-5411.

Q: What information is required on my claim?

A: Please refer to the CMS 1500 and UB92 standards for information regarding what is required on your form. If you are not using EDI, your office staff must use the CMS-1500 universal claim forms. EMI Health will not accept super bills.

Q: How will it be paid?

A: The claim will be paid according to the policyholder's contract and the EMI Health Table of Allowance. EMI Health uses the Viant fee schedule for its Beech Street providers.

Q: What portion is the insured responsible for paying?

A: The insured pays the difference between the allowable charge and the amount EMI Health pays. If the provider is participating, any balance in excess of the EMI Health Table of Allowance will be adjusted by the provider. This amount will be outlined on your explanation of payment, under the "Insured Pays" column.

Q: What if I disagree with the way my claim is paid?

A: You may request a review of any adverse claim decision by following the claims review procedure.

Q: Which providers and facilities may I refer my patients to?

A: EMI Health's insureds will receive maximum benefits, with less out-of-pocket expense when they are referred to participating providers. For those plans using the Beech Street network, please remember to refer EMI Health insureds to Beech Street participating facilities and specialists. You may access the most up-to-date provider listing on our website.
