Filing Electronic Claims
UniCare complies with HIPAA 5010 Transaction Standards and Code Sets and with the electronic data interchange (EDI) standards for healthcare required by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). EDI is the computer-to-computer transfer of transactions and information. We encourage providers to submit claims electronically to improve productivity and efficiency.
UniCare has a strategic partnership with Availity to serve as our designated EDI gateway for all electronic data and transactions. Providers, billing services, and clearinghouses that wish to establish a direct connection can register to exchange EDI transactions at www.availity.com. Learn more about filing electronic claims with UniCare.

Check Reimbursement Policies

Important Information About Paper Claims Requirements
UniCare will return incomplete paper claims submitted on professional provider CMS 1500 Form (02/12 version) and institutional provider UB-04 Forms. Providers should ensure that paper claims are complete and follow data element usage, required fields, and valid code sets as defined in the National Uniform Claim Committee CMS-1500 Health Insurance Claim Form Reference Instruction Manual and the National Uniform Billing Committee Official UB-04 Data Specifications Manual.
