Associate Claim Attachments with Specific Insurance Plan

What’s New

A new Insurance Plan selection field has been added for claim attachments. When users add an attachment, the system automatically associates it with the responsible plan for the charge. Users can edit this association from a dropdown menu that lists all active patient insurances—Primary, Secondary, and Tertiary.

Attachments are now transmitted only to the insurance plan they are explicitly linked with. If no responsible plan exists, the system requires users to manually select one before claim submission. Attachments with no selected plan will be excluded from submission.

Existing attachments without an explicit plan association will automatically default to their original charge’s responsible plan.

How It Works

1. When a claim attachment is added, the system automatically links it to the current responsible plan of the associated charge.

2. Users can edit the plan by selecting from the Insurance Plan dropdown, which includes all active plans for the patient.

3. Attachments will be transmitted only to the selected plan; they will not be sent to unrelated payers.

4. If the claim has no responsible plan, users must manually choose one before submission.

5. During claim submission, the system validates that attachments align with their associated plan.

6. If no insurance is selected, the claim will be submitted without the attachment.

7. Attachments will only be included when the transmission type is FT.

8. Existing attachments automatically retain their original responsible plan for backward compatibility.
