NEW!
Effective January 1, 2004,
contracted providers and their claims processing organizations are required to
be in full compliance with California regulations promulgated under AB 1455/SB
1177...2000). These regulations set standards for claims processing and dispute
resolution mechanisms to facilitate the prompt and efficient submission,
processing and payment of claims and fast, fair and cost-effective dispute
resolution.
Serra Community Medical Clinic, Inc work teams began preparing to meet these new
standards months in advance. Our claims, provider network and contracts,
reporting, and provider appeals functions have been intensely scrutinized and
where necessary, modified and enhanced to meet the new regulatory standards.
Using this website as a critical mechanism for communicating with providers,
Serra Community Medical Clinic, Inc will keep providers who serve our patients
more fully informed of the group’s claims settlement practices and policies
