Plan Your Workflow
- Use 270/271 before visits to verify eligibility and benefits, and use 271 for coordination-of-benefits information when needed.
- Run 276/277 claim-status inquiries electronically, keeping the claim reference and payer response for follow-up.
- Submit 837P, 837I, or 837D only after completing this payer’s enrollment process.
- Until ERA enrollment is active, use your existing alternative workflow to obtain and post remittance information.
- Plan another process for EFT, combined ERA and EFT, and electronic attachments because those transactions are unavailable.
Common questions
Can I submit claims electronically to this payer?
Yes. Professional, institutional, and dental claims use 837P, 837I, and 837D respectively, but payer enrollment must be completed first.
Can I verify eligibility and benefits electronically?
Yes. Eligibility and benefits are available through 270/271, and this support is available immediately.
Does this payer support ERA or EFT?
ERA 835 is supported after completing payer enrollment. EFT and combined ERA and EFT are not available.
Can I send electronic attachments to this payer?
No. Electronic attachments using 275 are not available, so use another approved process when documentation must accompany a transaction.
