Resubmitting rejected claims

You can resubmit a claim that has been rejected by an insurance company due to incorrect or missing required attachments and/or due to missing or insufficient data. A claim that needs to be resubmitted may have a status of Rejected by eServices (REJECTSV), Rejected by Payer (REJECTED), Unprocessable Claim (UNPROCESS), Additional Information Requested (ADDINFO), or NEA Error (NEAERROR).

Tip: You can access rejected claims from the Unresolved Claims box on the practice Overview page (dashboard).

Note: Editing and resubmitting rejected claims requires the "Edit Insurance Claims" and "Send Insurance Claims" security rights.
