: Adding Payers to your Software
: vchere6535 February 28, 2010, 05:22:56 PM
I'm shopping around for software, but I have this imminent question. How do actually add the Insurance Cos. to the software? And how does it know where to send the claims? Is it auto updating or... I've asked the sales people this questions and ALL of them have been reluctant to answer this. Maybe I'm not asking it in the right way. Does any one have the answer to this? ANd with Xena-Health, is it easy to add new payers?

all we had to do was load the insurance and know the payer id

Some web based softwares have major insurances already added, but most softwares require that you add the insurances manually.

yup, thats how ours was(is). If its new, you enter the name, claims address, and electronic payor id. If my clearing house can send to them, they do, otherwise it drops to payer and i can 1. pay them to send, or 2 send paper myself.
