ADS Emdeon EDI Bundle

The ADS Emdeon EDI bundle format is being implemented by our clients in advance of the October 1, 2015 deadline date for ICD-10.

ICD-10Bundling includes:

  • Unlimited par and non-par claims submission
  • Electronic EOB reconciliation (ERA) for payers who support ERA
  • Eligibility verification for payers who support eligibility verification

All of these EDI transactions are provided for as many states as may be needed by your practice or RCM company.

The EDI bundle represents an easy single submission option…a fast and time saving way to submit claims, receive ERAs and verify patient eligibility all from within your Medics system.  Also, ADS and Emdeon are able to perform payer tests for you.

Conversely, non-EDI bundle clients (“direct” clients) will have to test each and every payer to which each doctor submits claims.

Below is a comparison showing the difference between direct and bundled submissions:

Direct: you are currently using your own submitter ID #’s for government payers.

  • You will receive the required submitter ID numbers via email or letter directly from the payer(s)

  • If submission issues arise, you would have to contact the payer (Medicare, Medicaid or BCBS) directly for resolution.

  • Claims and EDI transactions can only be processed for the state(s) as selected by the client on the client’s original ADS agreement, or on any subsequent agreement(s).

  • There is a fee for any non-par payer(s) to which claims are submitted and / or from which ERAs are obtained.

ADS Emdeon EDI Bundle:

  • You are re-enrolled with your new Emdeon single submitter ID number which is linked to Medicare / Medicaid / BCBS and all other payers.  ADS then updates your system with a that new single submitter ID.  

  • Medicare, Medicaid, BCBS and commercial claims are submitted as one single file to Emdeon for transmission to all of the payers. 

  • Claims, ERAs and verifications are for par and non-par, and for as many states as are needed by the practice.

Migration to the ADS Emdeon EDI bundle is could not be easier!

  • You will be contacted by an ADS Enrollments Specialist to confirm basic information such as practice and contact name, provider name(s), Tax ID(s) and NPI(s).  The Enrollments Specialist transmits that information to Emdeon.  

  • Upon receiving the above information, Emdeon will complete the required forms, eliminating the inordinate amount of time it would normally take you to enroll. Emdeon will then keep you apprised as to enrollment progress for each of your providers. 

  • ADS will schedule training as soon as Emdeon’s enrollment is completed for all of your providers and payers. It can take 12-16 weeks for this from the time ADS first receives your approval depending on individual payers’ response times with Emdeon.

    If you are currently using Emdeon, a simple overview is all that’s needed since the normal Emdeon submission to which you are accustomed does not change. All that is needed a review of how the EDI bundle submits to all payers and how it handles ERAs and verification.

    Training goes into more detail for clients completely new to Emdeon and for clients who use Emdeon for claims but who have never processed ERAs and / or verifications. 

    Regardless of your experience level with Emdeon, ADS will stay with you to ensure you first submissions are transmitted correctly.

  • You will be on your way to (1) an unlimited single submission process for all of your par and non-par claims to Medicare, Medicaid, BCBS, and commercial payers; (2) unlimited ERAs for this same group of payers, and (3) unlimited eligibility verification, again for this entire group of payers, all regardless of whichever state(s) are required!

The cost for this all-inclusive, unlimited EDI bundle is only $79 per month / per NPI provider plus a very nominal one-time, per-practice enrollment fee.  

Even if ICD-10 did not exist, you would still want to move to the bundled format simply for the ease and simplicity of its operation!

“The ADS bundled format turned out to be a lifesaver for us. It takes care of Medicare sequestration and frees up at least two to three hours a day in work. It was easy to adopt and our only regret was not having made the transition sooner!”
