How do I submit a bill?

The provider submits the bill to Impact.

We find that it is most efficient for medical providers to submit bills for their services electronically through EDI and to the Payor ID on the back of the member’s card.

Impact's EDI Payer ID number is IH400. If necessary, paper HCFA or UB forms can be mailed to:

Impact Health Sharing
PO Box 241899
Apple Valley, MN 55124

• This allows Impact Health Sharing to process and adjudicate medical bills for eligibility per the Program Guidelines quickly. Most bills are processed in less than 30 days.  
• Once processed, Impact Health Sharing members share funds from their Share Accounts to pay each other’s medical bills; on average in 3-4 days.
• At this point, Impact Health Sharing remits payment electronically to providers, less any Member Responsibility Amounts (i.e., Deductibles, Co-Pays, or Co-Shares) and furnishes the provider with an EOP (Explanation of Payment) detailing the amount(s) paid.
  
  Impact Health Sharing’s electronic bill processing, digital sharing, and distributed medical reserves enables payment to providers, typically 30-40 days after receipt of the members’ bills. This approach sets Impact Health Sharing apart from the healthcare sharing process that many providers may have experienced with other healthcare sharing organizations. It is our aim to provide an experience that works better, feels better than insurance for our members.

Members do not file claims.

The provider submits the bill to Impact for discounting and processing.

**Please note that if you do not have the diagnosis code(s), procedure code(s), and the provider's tax ID number, this will delay the processing of the bill. It takes about 30 - 60 days to properly process a bill.

You can also call Impact Health Sharing directly at 1-855-378-6777 option 2 and then option 1.

The instructions are available on the back of every Impact member card.
