Upcoming Changes to eHEALTHsuite

We have exciting news: next month, we will be updating eHEALTHsuite with a new look and new features. These updates are designed to support your work in delivering exceptional care to Health Plan of San Mateo (HPSM) members. 

You can watch a tutorial video with a demonstration of these updates here: https://www.hpsm.org/videos/default-source/provider-education/the-new-and-improved-ehealthsuite.mp4  

 Here are some of the key changes we’re making to eHEALTHsuite to support you in filing your CMS-1500 claims forms online: 

  1. eHEALTHsuite now has an updated, modern interface that is easy to navigate while retaining the functionality and familiarity of the previous system. 

  2. Providers now have a field to add taxonomy codes for the rendering provider type. Providers will be able to search by provider name or taxonomy code. As a reminder, all incoming professional services submitted on a professional claims form must include a taxonomy code as of January 1, 2026!  

  3. Ambulance address pickup and dropoff fields have been added per Medi-Cal requirement. Providers can easily document round trip pickup and dropoff locations, or add additional lines for multiple locations. 

 Here are some other reminders when filing a claim online: 

  • “Box 21” on the CMS-1500 claims form does not accept a decimal, and the claim will deny if a decimal is included. Please enter codes WITHOUT a decimal point (for example, when entering code N18.6, please enter it as N186.) 

  • “ICD ind.” field should ALWAYS be set to 0. No other entry will be accepted. 

 Finally, here are additional resources to support you in this work:
