E-Billing for Legacy Linked Contracts
This functionality specifically applies to Providers working with legacy Linked Contracts (non-UPR). This functionality is controlled by the Payer.
This section covers functionality for legacy Linked Contracts to include resubmission of claims (Rebilling), Claims Search, and Batch Search.
On the Claim Adjustment window, if the Restrict Rebilling of Original Claims feature is enabled by the Payer, then only the Adjustment and Voidoptions are available from the Submission Type field. The Original option does not display. If the TRN is available in the TRN field, then Adjustment is selected by default in the Submission Type field; displayed as A in the Resubmit Claims page.
Providers with legacy Linked Contracts can rebill a claim without having to submit a request to the HHAeXchange Support Team; like the existing Rebill functionality for Internal Contracts. Under Billing > Electronic Billing, two menu items exist to support this feature: Batch Search (Linked) and Resubmit Claims (Linked).
This functionality applies to Payers whose 837 are exported via the HHAeXchange system.

The Rebilling functionality is controlled by the Payer; therefore, the Payer must grant Providers permission.
Once the Payer grants permission, go to Admin > User Management > Edit Roles to enable the Resubmit Claims (Linked) and Batch Search (Linked) permissions under the Billing section for the options to be available to an assigned role.
Payers can remove the Original option from the Rebilling options on the Claims Adjustment under Billing > Electronic Billing > New Batch > Resubmit Claims (Linked). The Restrict Rebilling of Original Claims feature allows Payers to eliminate any duplicate claims that may be resubmitted. This feature is enabled and managed by the Payer.
When this feature is enabled, the Submission Type (ST) column in the Resubmit Claims page displays A for those claims that have been resubmitted as an Adjustment and have a TRN Number. Records without a TRN Number display blank.
Only claims with a TRN Number and Submission Type of Adjustment or Void can be downloaded and exported.
If this feature is not enabled by the Payer, then the system continues to function with the Original option available.
