Data verification

Before sending a claim, Office Ally checks for correct dates, valid procedure and diagnosis codes, and standard HIPAA requirements. Claims are then promptly sent electronically to health plans. You can also choose to have Office Ally mail any claims to health plans who don't accept electronic claims. Claims are sent free of charge to health plans that accept electronic claims submissions. There is an additional fee to send paper claims from Office Ally.

After your claims are validated and processed, Office Ally sends an email confirmation receipt. You will also receive a summary report detailing the accepted claims as well as the rejected claims with the reason(s) for rejection.
