SUBMITTING CLAIMS ELECTRONICALLY
Electronic claims transmission (ECT) saves time and money and helps make the claims process as efficient as possible. Here are some other benefits of submitting claims electronically:
The average time to process and electronic claim is seven days, compared to 14 days for paper claims.
You save the cost of postage and paper when you submit electronically.
Your office receives a quicker confirmation of claims receipt and integrity of the data.
There is a higher percentage of claims accuracy, resulting in faster payment.
Fast Claim is designed to accommodate lower volume claim submitting practices that would like to submit claims electronically directly to Presbyterian at no cost. For questions, contact your relationship executive.
To learn more about ECT, please refer to the Claims Section of the Provider Manual or contact your Provider Network Management relationship executive.

Presbyterian will pursue the recovery of claim(s) overpayments when identified by Presbyterian or another entity other than the practitioner, physician, provider, or representative. Other frequent terms used for claim(s) overpayments are: “recoupment,” “take back,” and “negative balance.” If you need assistance filing a recovery of claim(s) overpayment, please refer to the manual.
