- Claims are submitted from the OpenEMR billing manager
- Claim status and errors are viewable in the ClaimRev Claims tab
- Claims can be marked as worked after review
- CSV export of claim search results is available
Eligibility Verification
Real-time eligibility verification is available from the patient demographics page.
Available Products
- Eligibility - Standard 270/271 eligibility check with benefit details
- Coverage Discovery - Find active coverage for a patient
- Demographics - Verify patient demographic information with the payer

How to Run an Eligibility Check
- Open a patient's chart and navigate to the Demographics screen.

- Click Check Now for immediate results, or Queue Check to process in the background.

Eligibility AI Assistant
The Conversation tab provides an AI-powered assistant that can answer questions about the eligibility response. Ask questions like:
