Workflow for Unsupported Transactions
- Submit dental, institutional, or professional claims electronically using the transaction type that matches the encounter and billing context.
- Complete payer enrollment before setting up EFT deposits or expecting ERA 835 files.
- Use the payer’s approved alternative process to verify eligibility and benefits before visits.
- Track claim status through the payer’s approved alternative process because 276/277 transactions are unavailable.
- Plan manual payment posting until ERA enrollment is complete, and use an alternate process for attachments and coordination of benefits.
