Workflow Considerations
- Run a 270/271 eligibility check when verifying coverage, then review the returned benefits before scheduling or billing.
- Use 276/277 to check the status of claims submitted through another approved channel; it does not submit a new claim.
- Plan a separate process for professional, institutional, and dental claims because Hero EMR does not send 837P, 837I, or 837D transactions.
- Retrieve remittance and arrange payment through another approved process because ERA, EFT, and combined ERA/EFT are unavailable in Hero EMR.
