Claims Submission via Change Healthcare

Change Healthcare has transitioned from WebConnect to ConnectCenter. ConnectCenter is designed to improve claims management functionality previously experienced with Emdeon Office/WebConnect. Providers who have a limited ability to submit claims through their hospital or project management system may now benefit from key features of the new ConnectCenter tool. There is no cost to providers to use ConnectCenter.

Key features are:

  • Claims users no longer need to choose between data entry of claims and upload of 837 files. All users may do both.
  • Secondary and tertiary claims can be submitted.
  • Institutional claims are supported.
  • Claims created online are fully validated in real time so that providers can correct them immediately.
  • Whether providers upload their claims or create them online, the claim reports are integrated with the claim correction screen for ease in follow-up.
  • Dashboard and work list views enable providers to streamline their billing to-do list.
  • Remittance advice is automatically linked to the provider’s submitted claim, providing a comprehensive view of the status of their claim.

To transition to the new portal go to ConnectCenter Sign-Up. Change Healthcare customer support is available through online chat or call 1-800-527-8133, option 2 for assistance.
