Notes

  • When a patient passes away, claims cannot be sent electronically. In these scenarios, claims are automatically excluded from electronic batches and need to be performed manually.
  • If you send a batch claim to medicare you must wait for a medicare response. If you don't get a response then you should follow it up with Medicare before acting on the issue and finalizing the batch. Finalizing a batch can cause data errors, payments to not reconcile, etc.
