Change Healthcare's Frequently Asked Questions
Save yourself keystrokes by setting up records in the Provider Management area. Then, set a default Requesting Provider (for real-time transactions). If you will use ConnectCenter to submit claims, set defaults for Billing Provider and Rendering Provider as well.
Instructions are in the Provider Management Quick Tip.
Most ConnectCenter screens include sections that can be expanded or collapsed ("accordions"). It is helpful to collapse the sections you don't need.
As the example below indicates, inquiry responses appear under the Submit button and may include drop-down menus for changing the information displayed.
If you submit claims through ConnectCenter, the tool will automatically create Worklists of denied claims, rejected claims, and incomplete claims. When you resolve the problem with a claim, you can delete it from your Worklist.
Tip: You can use claims in your Incomplete Claims Worklist as templates. Learn more in our Quick Start Guide.
Notes:
For a specialty referral, select Consultation, Oral Surgery, Maternity, or Infertility. Selecting another option in the Service Type menu will produce an error.
