How a billing case is described
The typical claim journey we explain
-
Submission
The provider compiles the prescription, delivery confirmation, and tariff codes for the Heil- or Hilfsmittel supplied.
-
Verification
Documents are checked for completeness and consistency against the applicable framework agreement before onward submission.
-
Insurer review
The statutory or private insurer assesses the claim and confirms the amount payable under the relevant contract.
-
Settlement
Once approved, funds are settled according to the billing or factoring arrangement in place with the provider.
Why this exists
Billing shouldn't feel like a black box.
Many Heil- und Hilfsmittel providers spend as much energy on paperwork as on patient care. ARNI was set up to make the billing and factoring process in Lower Saxony easier to understand, with clear, German-healthcare-specific information rather than generic guidance.
