Enrollment requirements
- Electronic remittance (ERA 835): multi step enrollment, typically takes hours
Workflow guidance
- Use the 270/271 transaction to confirm eligibility and benefits before scheduling or submitting services; use 271 coordination-of-benefits data when applicable.
- Submit medical services as 837P professional or 837I institutional claims; do not use this connection for 837D dental claims.
- Check claim progress with 276/277 rather than relying only on payment records.
- Complete payer enrollment before expecting EFT or ERA 835, and plan manual or separate workflows until enrollment is active.
- If attachments are required, use the payer’s permitted non-275 process because attachments are not supported electronically here.
Common questions
Can I submit professional claims electronically to this payer?
Yes. Professional claims use 837P, and institutional claims use 837I.
Does this payer support electronic eligibility verification?
Yes. Use the 270/271 eligibility and benefits transaction, and use the supported 271 transaction for coordination of benefits when needed.
Can I receive ERA and EFT from this payer?
Yes, but both require completing payer enrollment first. ERA uses 835; EFT is supported separately, while a combined ERA and EFT transaction is not available.
Can I send attachments or dental claims electronically?
No. Dental claims, or 837D, and attachments, or 275, are not supported through this connection, so use another permitted process when those items are required.
