Specifying a Medical Insurance Plan

Before you submit medical insurance claims for procedures performed by your providers, you must associate an account and patient record with a specific medical plan.

If your office submits both dental and medical insurance claims, you must associate the account and patient records with both a medical and dental insurance plan. For more information, see Setting Up Insurance.
