Member Claim Level File

InstaMed supports the ability to send payments (and denials) to members (Explanation of Benefits or EOB). These outbound payments consist of claims adjudicated by a health plan and owed to a member.

In order to properly reflect the disposition of an adjudicated claim, issued via the InstaMed Disbursement Hub solution, InstaMed supports the generation of claim-level batch files.

For example, if a check payment, consisting of 5 claims, was issued for $1,000, each of these claims would be reported as an individual row in the batch file with a ‘Paid’ status. InstaMed will output another batch file in the future when the check is deposited to change the status of each of the claims from ‘Paid’ to ‘Settled’.

The specification below is used to report on the status of specific claims issued by InstaMed as part of a payment/835 transaction.

Files are output in a pipe delimited format and uploaded to client-specific SFTP directories.
