Insurance companies represent an insurance carrier or network (e.g., Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna, Medicare). Once an Insurance Company record is created, you can add insurance plans and enroll for available electronic services to submit claims, check patient eligibility, and receive ERAs.

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

Find Insurance Company

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