Remittance Information

Electronic Remittance Information

Electronic remittance information may be obtained using the 835 Health Care Claim Payment/Advice (835) transaction. It provides the status or action taken on a claim, claim detail, adjustment, or adjustment detail for all claims and adjustments processed that week, regardless of whether they are reimbursed or denied. However, denied claims submitted using the NCPDP 5.1 transaction will not appear on Medicaid remittance information.

Refer to the Informational Resources section of this handbook for more information about receiving the 835 transaction.

Provider Electronic Solutions Software

The Division of Health Care Financing (DHCF) offers electronic billing software at no cost to the provider. The Provider Electronic Solutions (PES) software allows providers to download the 835 transaction. To obtain PES software, providers may request the software through the Medicaid Web site. Providers may also obtain the software by contacting the DHCF Electronic Data Interchange Helpdesk by telephone at (608) 221-9036 or by e-mail at wiedi@dhfs.state.wi.us.
