Workflow for unsupported transactions
- Submit professional claims through the 837P workflow, and review payer responses for rejections or corrections.
- Run 270/271 eligibility checks before visits when possible, then confirm coverage details in the returned response.
- For claim status, use another approved process because electronic 276/277 transactions are not supported in Hero EMR.
- Plan separate handling for ERAs and EFTs, including payment posting and reconciliation, because 835 and EFT transactions are unavailable here.
- Route institutional and dental claims through another workflow; 837I and 837D are not supported.
