Turn CMS-1500 claims into a Medi-Cal upload file
Add your claims, fix the problems in plain words, and download the file. You upload it to Medi-Cal yourself, under your clinic's own Submitter ID.
Free to start. No card needed. A Business Associate Agreement is accepted when you create your workspace.
How it works
- 1
Add claims
Drop in your CMS-1500 forms as PDFs or a spreadsheet, or type a claim in. For a scan or a photo, type the claim beside the page.
- 2
Review
Each claim opens beside its form, with problems named in plain words. Nothing is used until you confirm it.
- 3
Generate
Choose Test or Production, see the cost first, and download the file.
- 4
Upload to Medi-Cal
You upload it in the Medi-Cal Provider Portal. We show the steps beside the download.
What Medi-Cal needs from your clinic
Medi-Cal, not ClinikEHR, issues Submitter IDs and decides what it accepts. Your workspace walks you through each step.
A Submitter ID
Your clinic asks Medi-Cal for its own 3-character Submitter ID with the Telecommunications Provider and Biller Application/Agreement (DHCS 6153).
Provider Portal registration
You register that Submitter ID in the Medi-Cal Provider Portal, where you upload your files under Transaction Center, EDI Submission.
A test first
Medi-Cal asks for at least 10 test claims for each type of claim you bill. Test files are free here, and the checklist in your workspace keeps your place.
Pay per claim, in credits
No separate Claims subscription: it runs on your ClinikEHR plan. Test files are free. One credit is one cent.
