- An Invoice is created for the Appointment/Date of Service for the claim. See Create an Invoice for more information.
- Once the invoice is added to Awaiting Submission the claim is generated. Be sure the invoice information is correct before this step.
There are three steps to Submit Electronic Claim:

- Add the Invoice to Awaiting Submission - The Invoice becomes a Claim where it will be added to the Awaiting Submission queue.
- While your Claims are Awaiting Submission, you can perform a general Claim scrub. Claims can be checked for common errors such as Date of Birth, Gender, Address, Diagnostic Code, etc. Claims with no errors can be submitted to the Clearinghouse.
- Submit Claim to Clearinghouse All Submitted Claims are sent to the Clearinghouse at the end of each business day.
