Electronic claims submission is mandatory for providers submitting ten (10) or more claims for any one month period.

Electronic claims submission is available to all providers.

• Claims should be submitted in the AMedicare X12 format. More technically, this format is AASC X 12N (004010X098) doc.@
• Filing electronically with us has several advantages over filing a paper claim:
  • Your claims will be processed faster.
  • Data entry errors on our part will be entirely eliminated.
  • You will receive immediate notification of any claim errors or rejected claims, via email or fax.
  • You will have a record (as will we) of all claims that have been submitted and processed.
• Each physician submitting electronic claims for reimbursement must have a completed Physician Personal Data Form on file with the Kern County Public Health Services Department, EMS Division, and must advise the Division of any changes in that data.
• If you are not approved for electronic submission, contact EMS at (661) 868-5217 to get set up with electronic claims filing and receive your password.
• If you should require some minor technical assistance with initial submissions, help will be provided.
