Enroll for Electronic Insurance Services

Updated: 03/19/2024|Views: 17958

Tebra makes it easy to submit claims and other transactions electronically. Once an insurance company is added to your Tebra account, submit enrollment requests for electronic service connections through our Enrollments Setup wizard. Enrollments are completed with the Billing Tax ID and NPI used for submitting claims per the practice's/provider's agreement with the insurance companies.

Even if you've used electronic services in the past, a user with System Administrator, Provider, or Biller permissions must complete the enrollment process in Tebra. Before enrolling for electronic services for Claims, Eligibility, and/or ERAs:

You will always navigate to the Enrollments Dashboard to start an enrollment request, edit, or delete a draft enrollment request.
