Setting Up eClaims

You must configure PracticeWorks to submit claims electronically. Before doing this, remove any claims from prior electronic batches by submitting them on paper.

To configure PracticeWorks for electronic claims submittal:

From the Windows Start menu, select All Programs > CS PracticeWorks > Configuration of CS PracticeWorks. The configuration utility is displayed.
From the Setup menu, select General Configuration. The General Configuration window is displayed.
Click the plus sign (+) next to Preferences, and eClaims, and then highlight Select eClaims program. The options at the bottom of the window reflect your selection.
In the Value field, use the drop-down list to select PracticeWorks, and click Save entry.

After setting this up, do not change this setting if you are still submitting to the PracticeWorks clearinghouse. Changing this setting erases the electronic setup of insurance companies within PracticeWorks.

To print a summary of each transaction, select Display PracticeWorks electronic claims detailed transmission report in the Electronic Claims list. In the Value field, use the drop-down list to select Yes, and click Save entry.

Click Close.
