ELIGIBILITY INQUIRIES | For certain payers, the Provider ID selected and submitted must be enrolled with the payer, or the inquiry will return a ‘Provider not on file’ or similar error

If the inquiry is submitted with an NPI that does not appear on the claim, no match will be found and no response will be returned by the payer. |
PREAUTHORIZATION and REFERRAL INQUIRIES | For all payers, the Provider ID selected and submitted must match the rendering, referring, or primary care physician Provider ID on the authorization.
If the preauthorization or referral was approved for a specific facility, the Facility NPI must be selected on the inquiry.

WHY ARE CERTAIN PAYER INQUIRIES SOMETIMES UNAVAILABLE?
Hours of availability for payer systems vary. Our goal is to connect to the payer’s real-time system as much as they make it available - 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and 365 days a year.
Most payers schedule regular service outages to allow for system maintenance.
Check HealthXnet Status for payer system status and system scheduled maintenance information.
WHY CAN I SEARCH BY SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER (OR NAME & DATE OF BIRTH) FOR SOME PAYERS BUT NOT FOR OTHERS?
Each payers has their own search criteria options. HealthXnet tries to provide as many options as the payer makes available.
WHY AM I NOT FINDING MY PATIENT'S INFORMATION?
Check the member information for accuracy when performing inquiries.
Each payer has its own criteria for performing searches on its members’ data. The information used in an inquiry must match the information exactly as it is in the payer's system in order to get a valid response.
If you are not receiving a valid response to your inquiry, check the following:
DID YOU SELECT THE CORRECT INQUIRY TYPE OR INPUT THE CORRECT INFORMATION IN THE RIGHT FIELDS?
Select a dependent inquiry type if it is available when searching for an insured dependent.
Enter the Social Security Number in the Social Security Number field, or the Member/Subscriber ID in the Member/Subscriber ID field, if the two options are available for searches.
WAS THERE A TYPO ON THE INQUIRY?
Check the member information for accuracy and retry the inquiry.
If a member's name, ID, date of birth or other information is mis-keyed on an inquiry, the payer will return no responses. The ‘Inquiry Processed’ section at the top of the response screen shows the information that was used for the inquiry.
Check the name of the member or the dependent for accuracy.
Search again using the member's or the dependent’s previous name if they had a name change. The information entered in the request may not match the information in the payer's system.
WAS THE CORRECT PROVIDER ID SELECTED FOR THE INQUIRY?
Check the provider ID and select the correct provider ID.
Some payers return data specific to the enrollment status or specialty of the provider and the provider ID on file. You can try submitting your inquiry with a different Provider ID.
WAS THE CORRECT DATE (OR DATE RANGE) OF SERVICE SELECTED FOR THE INQUIRY?
Use the correct service date range or date of service.
The payer will return no responses if the payer does not have information on the member for the date(s) of service submitted on an inquiry.
DID THE MEMBER'S INFORMATION CHANGE?
Check the member information for accuracy and retry the inquiry.
The payer will not return a response if the information used in the inquiry does not match the information in the payer system.
DO YOU THINK THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE PAYER?
Contact HealthXnet Support if you get no response for a member who should be in the payer's system for the criteria entered on the inquiry.
HEALTH PLAN DOES NOT APPEAR ON PICK LIST?
HealthXnet may turn off access to a payer because the payer are having system issues and is temporarily offline.
Some payers have regularly scheduled maintenance outside of regular business hours and may not appear on the health plan pick list during that time.
Check HealthXnet Status for payer system status and system scheduled maintenance information.
Increased volume on the payer's system can cause time-out issues.
If the timeout message says, “Resubmission allowed”, try the inquiry again in a few minutes.
Some inquires may timeout outside regularly scheduled business hours when a payer is undergoing system maintenance.
Check HealthXnet Status for payer system status and system scheduled maintenance information.
DO MEDICARE ELIGIBILITY INQUIRES SHOW SECONDARY BILLING INFORMATION ON THE RESPONSE?
Not always.
Have the member call the Medicare Coordination of Benefits Customer Care to fix issues with secondary information not showing up in Medicare search results.
Have the member call the other insurance provider to let them know they have coverage with Medicare as well.
CMS Medicare does not know that a member has other insurance if the member does not tell them that they have other insurance. In addition, the insurance company does not know that the member has Medicare unless the member tells them.
MEDICARE HAS THE WRONG DATE OF BIRTH IN THEIR SYSTEM FOR A MEMBER. HOW DO I FIX IT?
The member needs to call the Social Security Administration to correct his/her date of birth in the system.
The information entered on a Medicare inquiry must match the data in CMS Medicare's system or a response cannot be returned. In some cases, a patient's date of birth is incorrect in the CMS Medicare system. According to MCARE, the date of birth in their system matches the date of birth on file for the member with the Social Security Administration.
WHAT DOES ‘W’ MEAN IN “NETWORK STATUS”?
‘W’ means 'Not Applicable'.The benefits are the same regardless of whether they are In Plan-Network or Out of Plan- Network. It could also mean a Plan-Network does not apply to the benefit type.
WHAT IS A DUPLICATE SUBSCRIBER ID/INSURED NUMBER?
The payer has more than one subscriber ID for a member. Please look at the member's insurance card or call the payer to confirm which subscriber ID is valid.
HOW DO I KNOW WHICH BLUE CROSS BLUE SHIELD STATE TO SELECT WHEN SEARCHING ELIGIBILITY INQUIRIES?
Select the state the provider is enrolled in.
Example: If the provider is enrolled with BCBS of Texas, then choose BCBS of Texas. You should see eligibility and benefits of all BCBS members.
Example: If you are aprovider in New Mexico and enrolled with BCBS of New Mexico. Choose BCBS of NM.You should see eligibility and benefits of all BCBS members.
