OPTOMETRY BILLING-BCBS OF VT-TIMELY FILING

Just as an FYI to all Vermont BCBS providers:

After a brief phone consultation with Provider Services at BCBS of VT, it is confirmed that ALL CONTRACTED providers with BCBS VT have a timely filing limit of 6 months. There is one known exception: patients who went under VT Healthconnect to purchase insurance that became active Jan 1 of 2014 and DID NOT update their insurance info with their provider could have their claim re-opened in the event of a timely filing incident.

OPTOMETRY BILLING-SPECTERA ELECTRONIC CLAIMS SUBMISSIONS

opticXpress is pleased to announce that we are now online with Spectera as an approved clearinghouse to submit claims to them electronically. Providers will still have to sign up with optum-payments to receive Electronic Remittance Advices and request EFT however, which is a let down, but this is a step in the right direction for an insurance company that is arguably one of the most archaic and backwards thinking insurance companies in the market (most vision plans are similar, as well all know!).
