Submit claims
The Details
What you need
You can only submit non-dental and non-pharmacy claims through the POSC.
- If you are a Dental provider, go to the MassHealth Dental provider portal.
- If you are a Pharmacy provider, go to the Pharmacy Online Processing System (POPS).
For all other providers, you must:
- Have an account with the POSC.
- Be a contracted MassHealth billing provider prior to submitting any claims.
- Submit all claims online, unless you have an electronic claim waiver.
From the POSC, you can submit claims individually via direct data entry (DDE) or you can submit batch files.
How to file
For single claims
- Login to the POSC.
- Submit claims via DDE.
The program will immediately tell you if your claim was paid, denied, suspended, or pended.
For batch claims
First, confirm if testing is needed
Confirm with the MassHealth EDI team to determine if testing is required prior to submitting claim files.
- To confirm, email EDI@mahealth.net.
- An EDI Analyst will confirm if testing is needed or if the provider is setup to submit claims to production.
Submit batch claims via POSC
- Login to POSC.
- From the POSC Home Panel:
- Click Manage Claims and Payments.
- Click Batch Process Claims.
- Click Upload Batch Files.
- From the Batch Upload Panel:
- Select Provider ID from the dropdown list.
- Select Transaction Type from the drop down list.
- Click Browse to select the file to upload.
- Click Upload File.
- From the Batch Upload Confirmation Panel:
- Review the Batch Upload Confirmation message.
- Make a note of your tracking number.
- Upload another file, if needed.
- Check 999 (HIPAA file acknowledgement).
- In 2 to 24 hours after submitting a claims batch, MassHealth will generate a 999 acknowledgement.
- The 999 will contain the number of transaction sets received in your file, and their status:
- A status of "A" in IK501 indicates we accepted the transaction.
- A status of "R" indicates we rejected the transaction set.
- In addition to statuses “A” and “R”, it may include a status of “P” for partially accepted in AK901.
