Provider Payment Level File

InstaMed supports the ability to send payments (and denials) to providers (Explanation of Payment or EOP). These outbound payments consist of claims adjudicated by a health plan and owed to a provider.

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

For example, if a check payment is issued for $1,000, a single record would be reported in the batch file with a ‘Paid’ status regardless of how many claims are applicable to the check payment. InstaMed will output another batch file in the future when the check is deposited to change the status of the payment from ‘Paid’ to ‘Settled’.

The specification below is used to report on the status of specific payments 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.
