Plan Your Payer Workflow
- Complete payer enrollment before submitting 837I or 837P claims or requesting 270/271 eligibility, ERA 835, or EFT.
- Confirm enrollment is active before expecting electronic remittance or funds transfer; otherwise plan payment posting without those transactions.
- Use an alternative process for 276/277 claim status, 837D dental claims, and 275 attachments.
- For coordination-of-benefits work, use an alternative process; standard 270/271 eligibility support does not include COB transactions.
- If your workflow requires combined ERA and EFT, plan separate ERA and EFT handling because the combined transaction is unavailable.
Common questions
Can I send institutional and professional claims electronically?
Yes, 837I and 837P are supported after your practice completes this payer's enrollment. Do not send them electronically through the connection until enrollment is complete.
Can I verify eligibility and benefits electronically?
Yes, 270/271 eligibility and benefits transactions are supported after enrollment. Coordination-of-benefits 271 transactions are not supported, so eligibility support does not include that workflow.
Are ERA and EFT available?
Yes, ERA 835 and EFT are supported separately after payer enrollment. A combined ERA and EFT transaction is not available.
Can I check claim status in Hero EMR?
No. Claim status 276/277 is not supported through this connection, so use the payer's available alternative process.
