    • Read ERA 835s from Payers

      The ERA Reports program (erareports) lists remittance advice that insurance carriers sent to your office. As soon as Partner receives an electronic EOB from a carrier, it reads the file and creates "check" files, which can be viewed on the main screen in erareports.

    • Review Claim Submission Reports

      The EDI Reports (ecsreports) program stores and displays claim and transmission related messages and reports. You can quickly search, review, and print the reports, as well as track which reports you have printed in the past.
  • Track and Work on Outstanding Claims

    • Review Payer A/R Summary (insaging)

      The insaging report shows you an aged summary of your practice's outstanding charges broken down by insurance group. It is a helpful collection tool that can show you which carriers owe you the most money and how old those balances are. The insaging report is also a quick way to see your total A/R, and it will help you determine which insurance carriers need follow-up attention.

    • Work on Unpaid Claims (inscoar)

      The inscoar report provides a detailed charge-by-charge accounts receivable for your insurance companies. You can use inscoar to find insurance charges that have not been paid and to work down old, overdue charges. In addition, interactive inscoar is a great work environment from which you can research billing history, make changes, and resubmit claims.

    • Track and Work on Outstanding Claims
