File Claims to Secondary Insurance
Q: How do I file claims to the secondary insurance?
1. Post Insurance Payments
After posting an insurance payment for a patient's primary insurance, you can then set the next action for the claim to be filed to the patient's secondary insurance. For instructions on posting insurance payments, please see: Create an Insurance Payment.
2. Confirm Next Action for Claim
- When posting the insurance payment for primary insurance to a visit, if the patient has a secondary insurance policy set up in their Insurance Demographics section, the Next Action dialog will default to "File Secondary - Paper". Confirm that this action is selected.

- Highlight the secondary claim located in the On Hold section.
- Click the Rebuild button.
The claim will be moved into the Pending section.
