Enrollment requirements

Plan the billing workflow
- Use 837I for institutional claims and 837P for professional claims, and confirm the claim type before sending.
- Complete payer enrollment before depending on ERA (835); until enrollment is active, follow your existing remittance workflow.
- Verify eligibility and benefits through your existing process before visits because 270/271 transactions are unavailable in Hero EMR.
- Track claim status through your existing process because 276/277 transactions are unavailable.
- Plan payment reconciliation without EFT; neither EFT nor a combined ERA and EFT transaction is supported.
- Handle coordination of benefits outside Hero EMR because the 271 transaction is unavailable.
Common questions
Which claim types can I submit electronically to this payer?
You can submit institutional claims using 837I and professional claims using 837P. Dental claims using 837D are not supported.
What must I do before receiving an ERA from this payer?
Complete payer enrollment first. After enrollment, ERA (835) is supported; until then, use your existing remittance workflow.
Can I check eligibility and claim status in Hero EMR?
No. Eligibility and benefits (270/271) and claim status (276/277) are unavailable, so use another workflow for those checks.
Can I use EFT or combine EFT with ERA?
No. EFT and combined ERA plus EFT are unavailable. ERA alone is supported after payer enrollment.
