Hospital Claims
Hospital Claims Submission Guidelines
Each hospital claim filed with the local Bluecard/Anthem Blue Cross office should include the following information:
- Participant's Name
- Participants Health Fund ID Number (as it appears on the Health Fund ID Card)
- Hospital's Name
- Hospital's Address
- Hospital's Federal Tax ID Number
- Patient's Name
- Patient's Date of Birth
- Procedure CodeAlso referred to as CPT (Current Procedural Terminology) codes, are numbers or alphanumeric codes assigned to every task and service a medical practitioner may provide to a patient including medical, surgical and diagnostic services. They are then used by insurers to determine the amount of reimbursement that a practitioner will receive by an insurer. Since everyone uses the same codes to mean the same thing, they ensure uniformity. (provided by hospital on bill)
- Diagnosis CodeA three to five digit code representation of the identification by a medical provider of a condition, disease or injury made by evaluating the symptoms and signs presented by a patient. (provided by hospital on bill)
- Amount Paid (if any)
You should make sure that the bill given to you by the hospital is in the UB-92 format. If the form is not in the UB-92 format, it may delay the processing of your claim. See below for hospital claims submission addresses.
