processing insurance claims

[gbj]

First, I'd like to say Merry Christmas to everyone. It's been a little while since I've been on here and my question is, Which company is the best for helping you with insurance claims? I got an e-mail from Lynx basically saying they were going to eft{electronic funds transfer} after the first of the year. I still get paid through the mail so that is why I was asking that question. I guess I've got to give someone my bank account to get paid. Who is the best? Someone please help. Thank You. gbj

Merry Christmas!

There may actually be two different questions here. If you are just talking about Lynx using EFT to pay you, you should not need any company to help with that. All they should need to deposit the money in your bank account electronically is your bank account number, routing number, bank name and bank contact info. Sometimes you will be asked for a voided check, but that should be about it. Lynx should have a form that tells you exactly what they need to sign up for EFT or direct deposit of payments.

If you are talking about companies that assist you with submitting claims to Lynx via EDI that is something entirely different. Delta Kits recommends ACT or eDirectGlass depending on your needs, but there are many other options for billing services so I will let others offer advice based on their personal experience.

This subject has been a matter of opnion with a lot of the Techs that post here.
I personally prefer to use Auto Glass Claims Team (ACT). But there is a lot of good companys out there .
But search the forum for EDI because there is tons of different ways you can have your claims processed.

I use edirect. Super easy to use one stop EDI'ing for me with Lynx, SGC & Harmon. 1 network referral and it is more than paid for. Even if you get no referrals, it is still a business write off.

In addition I believe you can submit invoices right on most networks websites now and it is free that route. As far as EFT, I do not believe you have to do it that way but they may charge you a fee for the paper checks. I get charged 30 some cents when doing SGC invoices since I still like paper. Have not seen mandatory EFT with Lynx yet. I have seen Lynx charges of 7.50 if they have to assist with an invoice. Ex. VIN entry problems that require a manual overide.

Determine your needs and pick the one that fits best.
