Part B EDI Products and Services
CIGNA Government Services can help you take advantage of electronic claims transmission, along with numerous other electronic services.
Electronic Claim Submission
Submitting your claim information electronically has proven to be the most efficient way to process your claims -- and you're paid sooner.
Electronic Receipt Listings
Within two days of a successful transmission, electronic billers
can confirm that CIGNA Government Services received their claim information
by downloading a summary report of the transmission. This report
will also show any errors that occurred which caused claims to reject
and did not make it into the system. For an example of this report, click

Some billing software packages offer automatic posting to your accounts receivable and/or patient billing system. Save TIME and MONEY by taking advantage of FREE Medicare Remit Easy Print (MREP) software now available for viewing and printing of the HIPAA compliant Electronic Remittance Advice (ERA).
