The "Manage Users" page allows administrators to create, delete, and manage user access and permissions in Claim.MD. This ensures that only authorized users can access sensitive information and perform critical tasks. Note that only administrators can access this page.
User Types
- Administrator users can manage other users and can access all the settings and features. SFTP/API setup can only be performed by an Administrative user.
- Standard users can be restricted to specific features, but will have access to all provider's data within those features.
- Eligibility Only users can only access Eligibility, and are locked to one specific provider. They are unable to see any eligibility history except their own.
- Accounting/Invoices users have access to the View/Pay Invoices page only.
HIPAA Compliance
To comply with HIPAA regulations, each user must be provided with unique login credentials for Claim.MD. The login information should be exclusive to Claim.MD and not used for other systems. It is important that users keep their credentials confidential. Sharing Claim.MD usernames and passwords is strictly prohibited under HIPAA standards to protect personal health information.

The user has 3 days to enter a username or password, otherwise another link will have to be sent by the administrator.
When the user is added, their name will display in the User List to the left with a pending status. This will go away once the user chooses a user name on their initial login.
Additional Verification Steps
Once data exists in the account, new users will be required to verify additional data to complete the new user set up process.
Whenever a new user is added to the system, they will receive a "Verify Access" email to confirm their legitimacy and grant access to the system. The email will contain a Claim.MD link (see image above). When the user clicks the link, a pop-up will prompt them to verify access to the system by entering a patient's last name. This last name can be obtained either by looking up their PCN/Account number in a separate practice management system or by asking an already authorized Claim.MD user to search for the patient's last name using the provided account number.
To perform the search, the already authorized Claim.MD user should follow these steps:
- Navigate to the Search page in the left-hand navigation menu.
- Enter the Acct # / PCN in the search field and click the Search button.
Removing Users
- Navigate to the user you wish to remove in the User List.
- Click the red "Delete" button towards the bottom of the page.
- Confirm the deletion by clicking "OK."
- A confirmation popup will appear. The user has now been successfully removed.
