Smart Data Stream Provider Portal

The Smart Data Stream Provider Portal gives you immediate, simple, and low to no cost access to submit and track claims directly through your web browser. You can either key the claims individually through our Direct Data Entry (DDE) modules or submit a batch of claims through EDI. Smart Data Solutions will also scrub the claims to check for any errors that may cause your claims to get rejected by the Payer. Additional features of our portal include: professional, dental, or facility claims submission, eligibility checking, claim status tracking, electronic remittance advice (ERAs), provider registration, and dashboard volume views.

Smart Data Stream processes over 500M transactions annually.

Transaction Type

Claims

There are two options to submit a claim through the Smart Data Stream Provider Portal. You can either upload a claim file or you can do Direct Data Entry (DDE) and key in a new claim. When uploading, you have the ability to upload claims in batches to the portal. As long as it’s a valid 837 file and has a payer ID in the REF02 segment, SDS will successfully route your claims to the Payer. With DDE, you can choose a Professional/CMS150, Institutional/UB04, or Dental claim form. Once the claim type has been selected, it will bring up a template for the claim information to be typed into.

Transaction Type

ERA Routing

To set up ERA routing, you will have to fill out the enrollment form with the following:

  • Provider First Name
  • Provider Last Name
  • Provider Email
  • Provider TIN (required)
  • Provider NPI
  • Provider Address
  • Provider City
  • Provider State
  • Provider Zip

You will have the option to select the Payers and Trading Partner that you would like to have ERAs sent to. Once you’ve set these options, sign and submit your application.

Note: For the effective date, the soonest date available will be three days after the submission date. Any payments you receive after that submission date will have a corresponding ERA sent to your account.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I have more than one TIN/NPI account?

+
x

Yes. A single account can have any number of TIN/NPI combinations.

Do I need to complete the ERA enrollment to check eligibility/claim status?

+
x

No, the ERA enrollment is only if you'd like to receive ERAs. If your account is redirecting you to the ERA enrollment page when you first log in and you don't wish to sign up for ERAs, you may disregard this and go straight to the section you need using the top menu bar.

Why am I getting an error when trying to submit a New Claim/Eligibility Inquiry/Claim Status Inquiry?

+
x

The most common reason for a general error when trying to submit is that no payers have been selected yet. Confirm that the payer you want to connect with has been selected in the Update Payers section of that page.

Why am I getting an error when trying to update my existing ERA enrollment?

+
x

If all required fields of the ERA enrollment form are filled out, but you're still getting an error when submitting, check to make sure that there aren't any empty lines in the Payer Selection area. If there are any empty lines, click on the X to the right to remove it.

These empty lines are from Payers you were previously enrolled for, but who have since discontinued service.

I enrolled for ERAs, but I don't see anything in the account. Where can I find them?

+
x

The ERA enrollment is not retroactive and will only start receiving ERAs for payments issued at least three days after you enrolled. For any previous payments, you'll want to contact the payment vendor or insurance company directly. All ERAs will appear under the Remits tab.

Can I change my username?

+
x

Usernames cannot be changed, but if you'd like a different one you can create a new user for yourself. First use the +Add New User button on the Users page under Account Management. After you've created the user, click on Edit User and grant that user Admin Access.
