MSP Medical Billing Management in 2025
Designed with the needs of BC healthcare providers in mind, our billing calendar offers a streamlined approach to managing important cut-off dates, remittance schedules, and payment timelines. Here’s how it works:
Cut-off Dates for Claim Submissions
The Medical Services Plan (MSP) processes claims twice a month, with specific cut-off dates for each submission cycle. Claims submitted before 11am on these dates will be processed in the upcoming remittance cycle, while submissions made after the deadline are deferred to the next cycle.
By integrating these deadlines into OSCAR Pro’s billing calendar, we help ensure you never miss a cut-off date, maintaining a consistent payment schedule for your practice.
Remittance Dates: Stay Informed
Remittance statements provide a detailed breakdown of paid claims and adjustments, including interest payments and Rural Retention Premiums. These statements are issued twice monthly, mid-month and at month-end.
OSCAR Pro’s calendar tracks these dates, offering you a clear view of when to expect payments and empowering you to plan your financial workflows more effectively.
Payment Dates: Manage Your Revenue Stream
Payments are issued in alignment with remittance cycles – mid-month and at month-end – via direct deposit or cheque. OSCAR Pro’s calendar marks these payment dates, making it easy to follow up on outstanding invoices and ensure a steady revenue stream.
Holidays and Close-Off Dates
Designated holidays and semi-monthly close-off dates can impact your claims submissions. Holidays may affect specific fees, such as Out-of-Office Hours Premiums, while close-off dates determine when claims are processed for the next remittance.
With OSCAR Pro’s billing calendar, you’ll stay informed about these critical dates, ensuring your claims are submitted on time and in compliance with MSP requirements.
