Submitting a Claim
Please note, while all providers are required to register and receive approval via this
portal prior to claim submission, the two claim submission options described below are
offered only as an alternative for providers that do not have the ability to submit claims
via a participating clearinghouse. There are two options to submit a claim through the
provider portal: 1.) You can upload a claim file into the portal or 2.) You can do Direct
Data Entry and manually enter a new claim. Navigate to the “Claim Status” page shown
in Figure 9. To upload a claim, click on the “Upload Claims” button shown below.

Upload Claim

Providers who submit electronically through a clearinghouse can continue to send claims
through their clearinghouse or can upload claims in batches to the portal. If files are
submitted in a valid HIPAA 837 claim format and have a payer ID in the REF02 segment,
your claims will successfully be processed. If you do not have an 837 file, follow the
claim submission instructions below.
New Claim
If you selected “New Claim”, the following screen will appear as shown in Figure 11.
From here, you can select a Professional/CMS1500 claim form for providers submitting
outpatient vaccine administration claims.

Once the appropriate claim type is selected, a template will display into which claim
information can be entered. An example of a professional claim form is displayed on the
following page in Figure 12.
