Workflow considerations
- Match each submission to the correct format: use 837I for institutional claims and 837P for professional claims.
- Run a 270/271 eligibility inquiry before visits when coverage information is needed electronically.
- Complete payer enrollment before relying on ERA 835; keep a manual remittance process until ERA is active.
- Do not use 276/277 for claim status; record follow-up needs and use your established non-electronic process.
- Route dental claims, attachments, EFT, and coordination-of-benefits work through a non-electronic or alternate process.
