The insurance field on the Billing tab is connected to a national list of insurance companies (payers). Picking from the list — instead of typing free-text — gives your billing team a clean payer record with the right address and claim number.

How to search

  1. Click in the insurance field.
  2. Type the first few letters of the company name.
  3. A list of matches appears.
  4. Pick the right one.

Why it matters

"Blue Cross" can mean any of 50 different Blue Cross plans, each with a different address and claim format. Picking from the list eliminates the guessing. Your billing team files the claim faster and the patient gets billed correctly.
