      1. Billing Provider: A provider who is credentialed to bill claims (can be a cosigner).
      2. Treating Provider: A provider who requires a cosigner to bill claims (For example, this can be a PT who isn't credentialed with a specific payer and needs a cosigner, or an assistant).
      3. Student: A student completing their clinical hours.
      4. Non-clinical Staff: Typically given to practice admin, to have similar access as a provider. This is a legacy option for RevFlow EMR users.

Provider Claim Holds

Important: Provider Claim Holds have temporarily been disabled. We are currently working on a solution to resolve this issue, please reach out to support for any urgent requests.

Important: For RevEquip and Non-Admin Self-Service members, Provider Claim Holds can be created on the designated Provider Claim Holds page (Billing > Provider Claim Holds). To review more about Adding/Editing Provider Claim Holds, please click here.

Provider Claim Holds allow users to set up automatic Claim Delays based on provider credentialing. This is beneficial when the lack of credentialing or licensure will lead to a denial. Once the hold is inactivated, any associated charges will automatically be released from Claim Delay when the charge edits process runs again. 

Note: If the provider was being held for Provider Credentials Required on the Insurance Class, then you must ensure that in addition to removing any Provider Holds, you set up the provider’s related Billing Settings as well.

  1. On the Provider Claim Holds card, click the New button.
  2. Complete the information on the Provider Claim Holds card, then click Apply to create the rule.
  3. After a Claim Hold has been created, you must click Save to apply the new Provider Claim Holds rule to the selected Provider. Any charges for that Provider at the location specified and meeting any other hold criteria you chose will be put on Claim Delay (“L” status). Once you no longer require the hold, you can Edit the claim hold rule (see instructions below) and either enter the end date for the rule or make the rule Inactive.

Adding Billing Settings

The Billing Settings card establishes certification for Insurance Classes that have the Provider Credentials Required flag set for the five government-based insurance companies: Medicare, Medicare Advantage, Medicaid, Medicare Railroad, US Department of Labor.

Important: Until the provider credentials are added, all claims for these Insurance Classes that have Provider Credentials Required flagged will be held on the Delayed Claims report automatically.

Additionally, if you would like specific commercial insurances for this provider to bill out under an individual provider number, you’ll need to create a Billing Setting and include the Insurance Code and Individual Number.

  1. To add provider credentials, click the  new button in the Billing Settings section of the provider’s page. 

  2. The credential settings drawer will open on the right side of the screen.  Note: Use the settings drawer to build your credentialing rules for the payers and locations where the provider treats.

  3. Enter the required and desired information.

    1. Setting Name: Choose a name for the set of credentials. Each credential set must have a unique name.
    2. Status: Leave as active, otherwise, the credentials entered won’t apply and the claims will go on delayed claims for the five government payers.
    3. Tax ID Number: Leave blank.
    4. SSN/EIN: Identify if the location and the insurance should be billed with the provider's Social Security Number (SSN) or the Employer Identification Number (EIN). This typically is EIN.
    5. Individual Number: If the provider is credentialed with the payer, enter "Provider" in this field for all payers except US Department of Labor. For US Department of Labor, leave this field blank. Note: If you leave this field blank for Medicare, Medicaid, Medicare Advantage, or RailRoad, the claims will be put on Delayed Claims with the Therapist Not X Certified reason.
    6. Individual Qualifier: Leave as “none.”
    7. Group Number: If the provider is credentialed with the payer, enter "Provider" in this field for all payers except US Department of Labor. For US Department of Labor, you must enter the specific Group Number they provide. Note: If you leave this field blank, the claims will bill with the individual provider information only (in most cases this will result in claim rejections).
    8. Group Qualifier: Leave as “none."
  4. Next, complete the Location and Insurance information from the appropriate tabs. You can create credential sets for multiple treating locations. You will also choose whether you want to build credentials for insurance classes or individual insurance codes.

    1. Location: Use the checkboxes to select the clinic location(s) where the provider treats patients with this insurance class or insurance code. Use the Select All link to quickly select all locations.
    2. Insurance Class: Use the Search bar to locate the insurance class(es) for these credentials. If you want to add credentials for an Insurance Code, don't make a selection here. Use the Reset link in the lower-left to unselect the insurance classes.
    3. Insurance Code: Leave this field blank if you've chosen an insurance class. If you have left the insurance class blank, because you are adding specific credentials for a single commercial payer, enter the insurance code here. Use the Reset link in the lower-left to unselect the insurance codes.
  5. Once all of the required and desired information is complete, click Save in the top right corner of the drawer.

  6. When you save the credentials, the system automatically checks to ensure there are no conflicting credentials added for that provider. If there is a conflict, you’ll receive an alert. You’ll need to remove the conflicting combination to save the setting.

  7. Now the credentials will appear in the Billing Settings.
Important: Once the provider's credentials are added, any pended charges related to these five government payer classes (i.e. Medicare, Medicare Advantage, Medicaid, Medicare Railroad, or US Department of Labor) will be released automatically from the system. If you’ve added the Provider Credentials Required box for other Insurance Classes, you’ll need to remove this before the charges can release from the Claim Delay after following the nightly scrubbing process.

Editing Billing Settings 

  1. To edit existing Provider Credentials, click on the appropriate credential listed in the billing settings of the provider’s page.
  2. The credential settings drawer will open on the right side of the screen.
  3. At this point, you can make the necessary changes to the credentials and then click Save in the top right corner of the drawer.
