Claims

Aetna encourages providers to electronically submit claims, through Change Healthcare (Emdeon). Please use the following Submitter ID number when submitting claims to the health plan: Provider ID# 128VA for both CMS 1500 and UB 04 forms.

ConnectCenter is our free provider claims submission portal via Change Healthcare. Change Healthcare is a contracted vendor used by Aetna for electronic claim submission, processing and support. Change Healthcare has produced and made available the Getting Started with the Sign-Up process guide (PDF) guide to assist in general navigation and registration with ConnectCenter powered by Change Healthcare office.

Please review the guides below for verifying member eligibility and claim submissions.

Contact your Provider Experience representative for more information on electronic billing. Or you can mail hard copy claims or resubmissions to:

Aetna® Virginia (HMO D-SNP)
P.O. Box 982974
El Paso, TX 79998-2974

Resubmitted claims should be clearly marked “Resubmission” on the envelope.

For out-of-network providers seeking payment of claims for emergency, post-stabilization and other services authorized by us, please refer to the policies and procedures in the provider manual.

Definitions & Helpful Links:

Claim Resubmission (Corrected Claim) – a claim that is resubmitted to Aetna via the same process of a new day claim (via provider’s claims tool, Aetna’s claims portal, or mailed) but the claim itself has been corrected in some way and the claim is designated as ‘Corrected’ via Bill Type code. Paper claims should also have the word ‘RESUBMISSION’ written across the top of the claim.

Please note, claim resubmissions are mailed to the following address:

Aetna® Virginia (HMO D-SNP)
P.O. Box 982974
El Paso, TX 79998-2974

 

Claim Reconsiderations for PAR providers (Dispute) – a claim for a PAR provider in which the provider is not correcting the claim in anyway, but disagrees with the original claim outcome and wishes to challenge the payment or denial of a claim. This requires the provider to fill out the PAR Provider Dispute form.

Alternatively, a PAR provider can also submit a Reconsideration via the secure web portal for better convenience. This requires the provider to request access to the portal.

Claim Reconsiderations for non-PAR providers (Appeal) - a claim for a non-contracted provider in which the provider is not correcting the claim in anyway, but disagrees with the original claim outcome and wishes to challenge the payment or denial of a claim. This requires the provider to fill out the non-PAR Provider Appeal form.

You may submit an appeal for a claim denied based on error or absence of fact, except for timely filing.  Federal regulations 42 CFR 42 § 422.504(g) requires us to protect Aetna® members from financial liability, therefore, appeals must include a signed Waiver of Liability (WOL) form.
