Payer delays, enrollment related issues, or technical issues at the clearinghouse are possible causes that may prevent an electronic remittance advice (ERA) to successfully route to your Kareo account. For quick access to submit a missing ERA support case directly from the Desktop Application (PM), you can use the Missing Electronic Remittance Inquiry Request feature.
