This article will discuss how to transmit electronic medical attachments with claims.
It is important to note that while the list of payers that are able to accept electronic medical attachments is growing, not all payers can accept this today. A majority of workers comp payers do support this electronic delivery method.
Your account must be setup to support this functionality prior to being able to transmit attachments electronically. To learn more about the use of electronic medical attachments please contact your account manager or support@nikohealth.com.
