Atlanta, GA—National Electronic Attachment, Inc. (NEA) announced today that they have signed an Agreement with Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts (BCBSMA). The agreement will allow BCBSMA to accept dental healthcare attachments for electronically submitted dental claims. Dentists will transmit the attachments to NEA’s web site using NEA’s FastAttach™ system. BCBSMA will then be able to view the attachments as part of the claim adjudication process. FastAttach enables healthcare offices to transmit healthcare attachments (x-rays, perio charts, intra-oral pictures, narratives, EOBs, etc), via the Internet. For healthcare offices, FastAttach accelerates claim processing and eliminates the cost and time involved in duplicating and mailing x-rays and other attachments.
“We are very excited about offering our dental providers the capability to submit their attachments electronically”, said Joseph Errante, executive director, BCBSMA Dental Programs. “We anticipate this arrangement will help us better partner with our providers by helping them reduce the time and expense in submitting claims. We expect it will encourage even greater utilization of electronic claim submission, which is a ‘win-win’ for both providers and BCBSMA.”
“We are very glad that BCBSMA chose NEA as their vendor for electronic attachments and we look forward to the opportunity to help their providers get started with submitting their attachments electronically,” stated Thomas Hughes, CEO of NEA.
