Yes, we offer you the flexibility to accept credit cards online, over the phone, or storing patient credit cards on file.

You can submit electronic claims to more than 4,000 insurers through Kareo. We support Medicare, Medicaid, Blue Cross, Blue Shield, and Tricare in every state. We also support major national insurers, such as Aetna, Cigna, Humana, and United Healthcare, as well as local IPAs and smaller insurers. To find out if you can submit electronic claims to a specific government payer or commercial insurance company, check out the Kareo medical billing software payer list.

We currently support professional claim formats, used for provider charges, using the CMS 1500 paper claim format and ANSI 837p electronic claim format. We also support institutional claim formats, both UB-04 and 837I, for Ambulatory Surgical Centers (ASC), Comprehensive Outpatient Rehabilitation Facility (CORF), and Outpatient Rehabilitation Facility (ORF).

It is our experience that each insurance company may have a different policy regarding how they reimburse for medical claims associated with Out-of-Network providers and the level of electronic services (electronic claims, remittance, and eligibility) they support with Out-of-Network providers. These varying policies are independent of the medical software or clearinghouse used to bill them. So we recommend that you call each insurance company to receive a definitive answer regarding their claim reimbursement process and the electronic services they will allow as it relates to Out-of-Network providers.
