Plan Around Missing Transactions
- Route facility and institutional claims through 837I, and practitioner or professional claims through 837P.
- Verify eligibility and benefits outside this connection before billing, because 270/271 transactions are not supported.
- Track claim status through a separate process; 276/277 transactions are unavailable here.
- Complete payer enrollment before relying on ERA 835, and use a separate remittance workflow until enrollment is active.
- Do not plan EFT or combined ERA/EFT processing through this connection; reconcile payments using your available payment workflow.
