Enforcement of the ASCA mandatory electronic claim submission requirement is conducted on a post-payment basis. A provider whose paper claim submission practice is being reviewed to verify one or more of the exception criteria are met for continued submission of paper claims will receive a letter. Please review the letter carefully and take appropriate action timely.
