The master payer list in the billing and scheduler products has been replaced with the Change Healthcare Trading Partner API. This API provides access to the most up-to-date payer details. Billing or office managers will be able to add new payers with the latest information into the system. This change will help prevent potential claim rejections caused due to incorrect payer information.
This implementation will only affect adding payers into the system. The payers already existing in the system, will remain the same.
Steps to add a payer in the billing product:
Click on Utilities
Click on Practice Setup
Click on Insurance Companies
Click on Add New Payer
Click on Select from RXNT master list
Enter a value in any of the following fields:
- Trading Partner Name: This is the payer name. For example, Aetna.
- Trading Partner ID: This ID used to identify trading partners and payers in the API
- Service ID: This is the payer ID.
- Service Name: Select a value from the drop-down containing the following options:
