Auto Upload Insurance Claims

ShrinkRapt creates an electronic insurance claim file that can be submitted to the claims clearinghouse of your choice. Some clearinghouses are free (Office Ally) and others, such as Claim.md charge a monthly fee. If you have chosen to use claim.md, you will be able to auto update claims and download ERA payments that can be automatically imported and posted to patient accounts. Importing ERA’s will save you lots of time (which is money).

Today we will show you how to auto upload claims. In a future post we will explore  importing ERAs, a huge time saver.


Set Auto Upload Claims In Preferences

The first step to auto uploading claims is to update your settings in Preferences. To access your settings, choose Preferences from the Setup menu.


Next, click the Insurance tab to go to the Insurance page and click the check box to Auto Upload Claims to Claim.MD. You must also enter your Claim.MD User Name and Account Key on this page. Click OK to save the changes and return to the Home Page.
