[MT-L] 270/271 Eligibility in Meditech

[John Podgorny]

Good Morning,

 

Is anyone using Meditech’s standard 270/271 eligibility interface?  If so how are you connecting to the Insurance companies?

 

Do you connect directly to the insurance company?

Do you connect through a clearinghouse or other 3^rd party vendor?

 

If you would be willing to discuss please contact me or respond to the group.

 

 

Thank You,

Hi, John,

 

Last time (a year ago) that I reviewed this with a client, MEDITECH’s indications were that a clearing house or 3^rd party was best.  I think there are probably facilities that are connecting directly to payers, so it would be interesting to hear from them.

Last information I had about two years ago, United Health was the only payer accepting a direct 270/271 interface.  Echoing Julia’s note (Hey Julia long time no chat!) a third party clearing house is currently the only solution that will scale to multiple payers.

 

Thanks,
