Once you have submitted your claims to HPEI, your billing items are validated before they process the claims and make payment.
If any of your bills are rejected HPEI sends them back with a status of Attention required: Refused so you can correct errors and resubmit the bills for payment.
Every morning you can see claim updates in the CHR from Health PEI (HPEI). The best way to keep track of your submitted claims is through the Billing dashboard to ensure that you address any claims that require your attention.
The most common claims you must keep track of and action are those with the claim status: Attention required and Cancelled.
You also want to keep track of claims with status Submitted. If a claim has a Submitted status for an extended period of time, contact Health PEI.
