Why do I want to convert my existing My Clients Plus account from using Office Ally to Ensora Clearinghouse?
- As you may know, our current clearinghouse, Office Ally, has unexpectedly announced they will be raising prices by up to $35/month per provider (effective for claims submitted on or following 2/1). By moving to Ensora Clearinghouse, My Clients Plus can continue to provide you the same billing support you have come to depend on and you can avoid the $35/month Office Ally surcharge.

- Click on the blue "Go To Pre-enrollment" button.
- Select your state and click Go. A list of applicable payers for your state and all states will be displayed.
- Complete the required fields and Submit.

How will I know if my Ensora Clearinghouse EDI Enrollment has been approved?
- You will receive an email notification if your EDI Enrollment has been approved or you may check directly with the payer (some payers may notify you directly or be enrollments that you complete directly in the payer system and be considered instant enrollments). If you have questions about the status of your EDI Enrollment, you can contact the payer directly to confirm that your enrollment request has been completed.
How will I know if my Ensora Clearinghouse EDI Enrollment was rejected and how do I fix it?
- You will receive an email notification if any EDI enrollments were rejected. Included in that email will be the cause of the error and instructions on how to make a correction.
To correct a rejected EDI Enrollment, simply go to the Ensora Clearinghouse Payer Enrollment button in your account and complete Fix an Enrollment.
Do I have to switch to Ensora Clearinghouse if I have been using Office Ally?
- No, you do not have to switch your clearinghouse from Office Ally to Ensora Clearinghouse, but you may incur a $35/month Office Ally surcharge each month if 50% of the claims submitted are to non-participating payers.
If I am an existing subscriber, I choose to stay with Office Ally and possibly have to pay a $35/month Office Ally surcharge, and I want to add an EDI or ERA enrollment, how do I do that?

The Enrollment team will contact you to complete the enrollment process.
Do I need to do anything if I do not submit electronic claims?
- No, you are not impacted by any changes in clearinghouses. There is no action for you to take.
Do I need to complete EDI enrollment for all of my payers if I want to switch to Ensora Clearinghouse?
- Not all payers require EDI enrollment. Only certain payers require the enrollment process for EDI submission, so you should completed EDI enrollment for only those payers that require it.
Do I need to complete the ERA enrollment for my payers?
- If you currently receive your ERAs through a different clearinghouse, then we recommend you go through the ERA enrollment process for Ensora Clearinghouse, if you are switching to claims submissions through Ensora Clearinghouse.
If you do not receive ERAs currently and would like to, then you should complete the ERA enrollment process.
What does Par or Non-Par mean?
- Non-Par or Non-participating means that the payer does not pay the clearinghouse to submit claims to payer.
Par or Participating means that the payer does pay the clearinghouse when they submit claims to the payer.
In the past, Office Ally has been paid by a number of payers for claims submissions. There is a trend in the industry for payers to no longer pay for claims submissions, so Office Ally is turning to another source of revenue, which is to charge those rendering providers who submit 50% or more non-par claims per month.
