Many events include demonstrations by practice management software vendors and presentations about electronic claims submission.

Already using Practice Management Software?

Leverage your practice management software to do more than keep track of your office - use it to communicate with insurance carriers electronically. You can get started by calling your practice management software vendor's support center for details about how to submit claims and attachments, check benefits and eligibility, and perform other activities electronically.

Payer IDs

If you conduct electronic transactions, you'll need the Payer ID of the insurance carrier.

Electronic Data Interchange Hours and Information

Information about EDI system maintenance schedules and downloadable, printable guides that provide details on specific EDI real-time transactions.
