As previously communicated, providers who submit paper claims for
AmeriHealth must use the following address:
- Claims Receipt Center
- P.O. Box 211184
- Eagan, MN 55121
When addressing the envelope, please ensure that you are using the correct
address and P.O. Box number. Please note that there are three ?1s? in the P.O. Box number. It has been brought to our attention that
providers are sending paper claims with only two 1s noted in the P.O. Box
number, which is causing claims to be routed to an incorrect payer. This in
turn causes a delay in processing and payment.
Also, when submitting a CMS-1500 or CMS-1450 (UB-04) claim form, please
ensure it is completed in full and legible. If any information is missing or
illegible, the form will be rejected. When submitting a non-standard paper
claim, please ensure that the information submitted is legible and large enough
to read. Non-standard paper claims that are too light or too dark may not be
properly scanned, which will result in a rejection and be returned for
resubmission.
Make sure the following information is included in all paper claim
submissions:
- member name and ID number
- patient name and date of birth
- provider name, address, and NPI or Tax ID number
- date(s) of service, cost for each date, and receipt, if paid by member
- diagnostic/revenue/procedure code(s) for all lines/services
Clean, legible claims with all the necessary information included are
generally processed within 30 days of submission. Submitting an incomplete or
illegible claim will result in the claim being rejected.
