Insurance Companies

Updated: 12/19/2025|Views: 28802

Insurance companies represent an insurance carrier or network (e.g., Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna, Medicare). Once an Insurance Company record is created, you can add insurance plans and enroll for available electronic services to submit claims, check patient eligibility, and receive electronic remittance advices (ERAs).

Note: For self-service enrollments customers, review Self-Service Enrollments: Insurance Companies.

You always begin with finding the insurance company before adding, editing, or deleting an insurance company.
