If you are eligible to submit claim cards, contact Provider Programs . Health care practitioners who are opted out of MSP receive payment for services provided at the end of each month. The time required to process claims varies, depending on whether they are submitted electronically or by claim card. A payment for claims submitted via Teleplan normally includes claims received at least seven days prior to the next payment date. However, if the claims information is incomplete or inaccurate, or if the claim requires manual adjustment, processing and payment of the claim may be delayed.
Claims submitted by claim card take longer to process.
A few days prior to the payment date, the Claims Processing System issues a remittance statement or payment summary record for the payment period. When one practitioner replaces another during holidays or sickness, payment for services may be made either to the principal practitioner or to the practitioner providing the service in the absence of the other. Practitioners may assign payment to a clinic or group practice. Normally the clinic or group has a single payment number. The term of the assignment may be for any period up to, but not exceeding, five years.
