Enroll for Electronic Insurance Services

Updated: 10/09/2023|Views: 61577

Tebra makes it easy to submit claims and other transactions electronically. Once an insurance company is added to your Tebra account, submit enrollment requests for electronic service connections through our Enrollment wizard. Enrollments are completed with the Billing Tax ID and NPI used for submitting claims per the practice's/provider's agreement with the insurance companies.

Even if you've used electronic services in the past, a user with System Administrator, Provider, or Biller permissions must complete the enrollment process in Tebra. Before enrolling for electronic services for Claims, Eligibility, and/or ERAs:

You always navigate to the Enrollments Dashboard to start an enrollment request, edit, or delete a draft enrollment request. 

Navigate to Enrollments Dashboard

  • Click Settings > Insurance > Insurance Companies. The Insurance Companies window also known as the Enrollments Dashboard opens.
