There are times Kareo may not be able to process electronic remittance advice (ERA) reports that contain a high count of Claim Reference IDs, also known as encounters. The ERA Splitting Options feature allows System Administrators to set a Claim Reference ID count threshold on ERA reports received for the practice. By enabling automatic ERA splitting and specifying a maximum number count, any ERA report received with a Claim Reference ID count above the set value automatically splits into several, more manageable reports for an uninterrupted payment reconciliation workflow.

Enable Automatic ERA Splitting

Click Settings > Options > ERA Splitting Options. The ERA Splitting Options window opens.
Click to select "Enable automatic ERA Splitting" to activate the feature moving forward.
- To disable automatic ERA splitting, click to deselect. Then, click Save.
By default, the maximum number of claims (Claim Reference IDs) per ERA report is set to 50. If desired, enter a different maximum number (between 50 and 450).
Click Save.
