Workflow guidance
- Submit institutional claims electronically now, and confirm whether each claim is institutional or professional before sending it.
- Complete payer enrollment before submitting professional claims, requesting eligibility and benefits, or receiving ERA.
- Before enrollment, use your established non-electronic process to verify eligibility and benefits.
- Track claim status through your existing payer workflow because electronic 276/277 status checks are unavailable.
- Plan to reconcile payments without EFT; ERA can be used only after enrollment, while combined ERA and EFT is unavailable.
