Claims Receipt Acknowledgement
Health Net provides an acknowledgement of claims receipt, whether or not the claims are complete, within two business days for electronically submitted claims. For paper claims, Health Net provides an acknowledgement of claims receipt within 15 business days of receipt for HMO, Medi-Cal, PPO, and EPO. If a paper claim is paid or denied within 15 days, the Remittance Advice (RA) is considered an acknowledgement of claims receipt. A provider may obtain acknowledgement of claim receipt in the following manner:
HMO, PPO, EPO, and HSP claims: Electronic fax-back confirmation of claims receipt through the Health Net Provider Services Center interactive voice response (IVR) system, via a paper acknowledgement report mailed within 14 days of claims receipt and on the Health Net provider portal.
Medi-Cal claims: Confirmation of claims receipt through the provider portal of Health Net's website and by calling the Medi-Cal Provider Services Center (CalViva Health Provider Services Center).
Claims received from a provider's clearinghouse are acknowledged directly to the clearinghouse in the same manner and time frames noted above.
Date of Receipt definition: Date of receipt is the business day when a claim is first delivered, electronically or physically, to Health Net's designated address.
