submission alternatives when you have difficulties submitting ICD-10 claims due to being unable to

clearinghouse(s). The article states that the following claims submission alternatives are available: Free
billing software, provider internet portals, direct data entry (DDE), and paper claims. Each claims
submission alternative can be reviewed at the following link: https://www.cms.gov/Outreach-and-
