Process ERA
In an ERA, double-click on a patient in the Claims Paid grid.
If a matching claim is not found, you will be asked to manually locate it in ERA Match with Claim. If a matching claim is found, this window will open.
Verify that payment amounts are accurate. The amounts for EOB totals should match the Totals amounts.
Click OK to mark the claim as received. An X will show in the Recd column of the main ERA window. For each claim in the ERA, repeat verification process. Once complete, proceed to Finalize Payment section below.
Total Payment - this row will appear when insurance sends back a code or dollar amount that does not match the original claim. It can be left as is or can be manually applied to the appropriate claim items. If that is done make sure to zero out the InsPay field on the Total Payment line.
EOB Claim Adjustments, EOB Procedure Breakdown and EOB Totals are read only and for reference when entering payments.
Include Write-offs for Category Percentage and Medicaid/Flat CoPay plans: Check to include write-off amounts in payment grid for all plan types. Uncheck to zero out write-off amounts on all procedures for Category Percentage and Medicaid/Flat CoPay plans.

Deductible: Click to move all deductible amounts to the selected row (it can be any row, including Total Payment).
