Medical offices that submit claims electronically are commonly referred to as "electronic claims submission offices" or simply "electronic billing offices." These offices utilize electronic health record (EHR) systems and billing software to streamline the claims process, ensuring faster processing and reimbursement from insurance companies. This method improves accuracy and efficiency compared to traditional paper claims.
Transmitting claims electronically is one of the initiatives included in the Health Insurance Portability & Accountability Act of 1996, passed by Congress. This process of electronically submitting claims, reduces waste, fraud, protects privacy and administrative costs associated with processing them manually.

Once claims are electronically filed, the Injury Compensation Program Administrator (ICPA) reviews them for accuracy and completeness. If the claim meets the necessary criteria, it is then adjudicated by the appropriate medical or legal personnel within the program. These adjudicators assess the details of the claim, including medical evidence and applicable laws, to determine eligibility and compensation. The ICPA oversees the entire process to ensure compliance and fairness.
