- Since 276/277 is unavailable, maintain a manual or alternate process for claim-status follow-up.
- Plan a manual or alternate workflow for dental claims, attachments, coordination-of-benefits 271, and requests for combined ERA and EFT.
Common questions
Can I submit both institutional and professional claims electronically?
Yes. This payer supports institutional claims through 837I and professional claims through 837P.
Does this payer support electronic eligibility and benefits checks?
Yes, eligibility and benefits transactions use 270/271. Coordination-of-benefits 271 is not supported, so do not treat that transaction as available.
Do I need payer enrollment for EFT and ERA?
Yes. EFT and ERA 835 are supported only after the practice completes this payer’s enrollment process.
Can I check claim status or send attachments electronically?
No. Claim status 276/277 and attachments 275 are not available through this payer’s supported electronic transactions.
