Managing billing and claims in an eyecare practice is a full time job. But, for some practices it can get put on the back burner, or can easily slip out of control if not caught up with every day. That's why you need a claims management tool that will help your biller stay on top of claims while still having time for other things.

If you've never looked into a claims management solution for your practice, you'll probably have some questions. We're here to clear up any questions you might have about getting started with a claims solution. 

How to Get Started with a Claim Management Solution

Enrollment process? What does that mean?

To get enrolled it generally takes between 30-45 days. This includes a period of paperwork and processing, and implementation. A lot of this timeline is dedicated by payer's timing when approving your practice EDI and ERA.

Electronic Remittance Advice (ERA) is an Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) version of an insurance payment explanation. It provides details about claims payment, and explanations for denied claims. Remittance info in this format is easier to manage than paper EOBs. 

You mentioned using the tool from a compatible practice management system. What systems are compatible?

The claims management solution is compatible with most of the leading practice management systems. You can see the full list here. Uploading from your practice management system allows you to:

• Upload single or batch claim files created in your practice management software
