Insurance Plans

Updated: 12/01/2023|Views: 9878

Insurance plans represent a specific policy, group or program (e.g., PPO, POS, HMO) governed by the insurance company. In Tebra, the Insurance Plan record stores the claims billing address required for sending claims.

You always begin with finding the insurance plan before adding, editing, or deleting an insurance plan.

Find Insurance Plan

  • Click Settings > Insurance > Find Insurance Plan. The Find Insurance Plan window opens.
    Tip_Icon.png Tip: When there are multiple insurance plans listed, use the Look For search bar to enter all or part of a keyword for the insurance plan. Then, click Find Now.
