What is an Electronic Submission?
Electronic submission is the structured transmission of data by electronic means. Bills are submitted electronically from providers to CBP through ACS EDI Gateway and P2P for payment of medical services rendered to OWCP claimants.
� The electronic formats used are listed below:
� 837P the electronic form of a professional bill (HCFA 1500)
� 837I the electronic form of a institutional bill (UB-04)
� 835 the electronic form of the remittance voucher
� 277CA the electronic format of the bill status
� 999 the electronic acknowledgement for bills submitted

Electronic Submission Overview
As an OWCP provider, you can submit bills electronically or on paper. Bills submitted on paper will follow the standard OWCP processing procedures. Submitting bills electronically offers you the advantage of speed in processing, response time, and payment. Providers are able to receive immediate feedback on the acceptance or rejection of the data submitted for electronic processing.
� Your bills for payment are submitted electronically to the Central Bill Processing (CBP) system by your billing agent, clearinghouse or software vendor.
� The Billing agents, clearinghouses and software vendors are known as submitters.
Page 12
Electronic Submission Overview
� ACS EDI Gateway and P2P submit the bills to CBP for processing and adjudication.
� CBP receives the bill (transaction) and processes the bill for payment.
� CBP returns the status of the bills to the submitters via ACS EDI Gateway or P2P in the approved format.
� Submitters provide the status of the bills back to the you.
What’s New?

What’s New: Provider Electronic Submission
Today, OWCP professional providers can electronically submit a maximum of 8 diagnosis codes and OWCP institutional providers can electronically submit a maximum of 9 diagnosis codes and 6 surgical codes for all three OWCP programs (FECA, Black Lung and Energy).
� Providers will have the capability to submit up to 12 diagnosis codes associated with the claimants accepted conditions for professional services rendered (HCFA 1500 form), electronically.
� Providers will have the capability to submit up to 25 diagnosis codes and 25 inpatient surgical procedure codes associated with the claimant’s accepted conditions for institutional services (UB-04 form), electronically.
� Providers will be able to use diagnosis code pointers to indicate which of the submitted diagnosis code should be used in positions 1-4.
Page 15
What’s New: Submitter Electronic Submission
Today, submitters receive an acknowledgement file called a 997 which indicates whether or not the bill was received by ACS EDI Gateway or P2P successfully (accept/reject).
The bill processing system returns an error report called the 824 to the EDI entity to notify the submitter of any errors. For example, if your assigned OWCP provider number is submitted incorrectly, the error message, “invalid provider number” will be returned on the 824.
What’s New:
� The file acknowledgement will provide additional information and be renamed from 997 to 999.
� The error message will be returned on the 277CA transaction along with additional information regarding the bill status.
Page 16
What’s New: EDI Entities Electronic SubmissionToday, ACS EDI Gateway and P2P accept and process electronic formats for all three OWCP programs in the 4010 version of HIPAA which includes the 837P, 837I, 835, 997, and 824.
What’s New:
� The 5010 version of HIPAA will contain existing 4010 fields and new fields. The transactions 837P, 837I, and 835 will remain, with additional fields. The 997 and 824 will be replaced by the 999 and 277CA, both with additional fields. For example, on the 277CA a “totals” fields was added, and on the 837I the Health Care Provider Taxonomy Code was added.
