Pharmacy Claims Processing

It's important for healthcare providers to understand the claims processing workflow and ensure that their claims meet all the necessary requirements. This can help avoid claim denials and delays in payment, which can have a significant impact on the financial health of a medical practice.

When a patient receives medical care, the doctor or medical facility sends an invoice to their health insurance company. This invoice is known as a medical claim and provides details on the services the patient received and the associated charges set by the doctor or facility.

However, getting a claim approved by the insurance company is not always a straightforward process. Claims processing involves an intricate workflow that each claim must go through before it can be approved. The process includes several checkpoints to ensure that the claim meets all the requirements and that the services provided are covered under the patient’s insurance policy.

If a claim makes it through all the checkpoints without any issues, the insurance company approves it and processes any insurance payments. But if there are any errors or missing information, the claim may be denied or sent back to the medical provider for additional information.

NCPDP Claims Adjudication:

NCPDP is responsible for developing national standards for electronic healthcare transactions that are used in prescribing, dispensing, monitoring, managing, and paying for medications and pharmacy services. Additionally, they create standardized business solutions and best practices to ensure patient safety.

By utilizing NCPDP 5.1, your organization can now immediately adjudicate claims after dispensing. Within seconds, the claims are processed, and the reimbursement amount is determined. However, it’s important to note that once a claim is “factored,” it cannot be returned, even if reimbursement is not received from the payer.

Claim adjudication experts work from a central location to resolve any missing data or issues with claims. This often involves obtaining missing information from the practice through the software’s help desk system.

In most states, reimbursement amounts are based on the average wholesale price (AWP) and can vary depending on various factors, such as the prevailing reimbursement rate for a specific state workers’ compensation program.

Benefits of pharmacy claims adjudication:
