Workflow guidance
- Use 270/271 for eligibility and benefits checks, but do not rely on this connection for coordination-of-benefits information.
- Complete payer enrollment before sending 837P, 837D, or 837I claims or receiving ERA 835 files.
- Match each claim to the correct transaction: 837P for professional, 837D for dental, and 837I for institutional services.
- Prepare a separate payment-posting process because EFT and combined ERA/EFT are unavailable, even though ERA is supported after enrollment.
- When attachments are required, 275 is unavailable. Confirm an accepted alternative with this payer before submitting documentation.
Common questions
Is eligibility verification available electronically for this payer?
Yes. 270/271 eligibility and benefits transactions are available immediately, but coordination-of-benefits 271 is not supported.
Can I submit professional, dental, and institutional claims electronically?
Yes, but payer enrollment is required first. After enrollment, 837P, 837D, and 837I transactions are supported.
Can I receive ERA or EFT from this payer?
ERA 835 is supported after payer enrollment. EFT and the combined ERA plus EFT option are not available through this connection.
Can I send attachments electronically with this payer?
No. 275 attachments are not supported, so confirm another accepted submission process with this payer when documentation is needed.
