The following instructions are to use an unintegrated clearinghouse. Your clearinghouse must provide all the necessary information to complete the instructions.
Important Note: Selecting Submit in RevolutionEHR when using an Unintegrated Clearinghouse does NOT send the claims to the clearinghouse. The action of Submit changes the status of the claim to Submit and creates an 837 electronic claim file that downloads to your computer. The 837 files need to be manually uploaded by the practice to the unintegrated clearinghouse to complete the submit process.
