Electronic Claim Acceptance/Rejection Validation
Important information to validate acceptance/rejection status for submitted electronic
claims:
• For each electronically submitted batch of claims, Medical Data Delivery
(MDD) reports are provided by BCBSGa. The MDD reports should be
available in the provider/vendor electronic mailbox approximately four
hours after transmission.
• Providers should note the date of transmission and access these reports
after each transmission to:
Ensure that Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Georgia has received the
transmitted batch.
Reconcile the submitted batch’s total number of claims and total
dollars to the MDD reports for completeness and accuracy.
Identify errors and/or rejected claims for timely correction and
resubmission.
