Misconceptions

Misconceptions about the Wyoming Medicaid EDI Application Form

  • All fields are optional. Many believe that they can skip certain fields on the application. In reality, every field must be completed, even if it means entering "N/A" for non-applicable sections. An incomplete form can delay the approval process.
  • Electronic submissions are not necessary. Some providers think they can continue submitting paper claims without any issues. However, electronic submission is becoming the standard, and using the EDI application can streamline the process significantly.
  • Signatures can be copied or stamped. There is a common misconception that signatures can be replicated. The application clearly states that all signatures must be original. This requirement is crucial for the validity of the application.
  • Using the 835 Health Care Claim Payment/Advice is optional. While some may think they can choose to ignore this option, it is important to understand that opting for the 835 means you will not receive mailed remittance advices. Providers need to be aware of this change to avoid confusion in their billing processes.

Remittance Advices and 835 Health Care Claim Payment files

By signing the provider agreement and returning this application, you will automatically be given access to the Wyoming EqualityCare Secure Web Portal and will be mailed an EDI Welcome Letter containing the necessary user information to register on the secure web portal, which will include access to Wyoming Medicaid’s Proprietary Remittance Advice. If you choose to make use of the 835 Health Care Claim

Payment/Advice, you will no longer receive copies of these Remittance Advices through postal mail, and will be directed to retrieve them through the Secure Web Portal.

1. The 835 Health Care Claim Payment/Advice is the electronic transmission of remittance data from Wyoming Medicaid to a provider (or clearinghouse). This remittance data is often referred to as an EOB (Explanation of Benefits). It is used to reconcile a payment against the claims a provider submitted to Wyoming Medicaid. To use the 835 Health Care Claim Payment/Advice requires special computer software capable of processing it.

Will you or a third party use the 835 Health Care Claim Payment/Advice? Please note – the 835 can only be delivered to a single trading partner number – i.e. either the clearinghouse OR the provider, but not both, can retrieve the 835 file. Regardless of where the 835 file is being delivered, Wyoming Medicaid’s Proprietary Remittance Advice will continue to be available via the Secure Web Portal to the provider.

I will retrieve my 835 (deliver to the Secure Web Portal and stop my mailed paper remittance advices)

A third party (e.g., clearinghouse) will retrieve my 835 (deliver to the clearinghouse/third-party and stop my mailed paper remittance advices): _____________________________________
