Uploading Files Manually
"Manually Uploading Claims" refers to generating a batch file containing claims for a specific provider from a Practice Management System or another software. This file is typically in ANSI X12 format but can also be in PDF, CSV, XML, or other formats. The batch file is saved locally and then uploaded to Claim.MD.
Steps to Upload a Claim:
- Click Upload Files on the left-hand navigation menu.
- Leave the Select Format dropdown as Automatic Format Identification. If the file isn't read correctly, manually select the correct format (CSV, XLS, XML, etc.).More Information
Clicking on the
button next to the Select Format dropdown will display a Select Format Help window. This provides links with rules and formats required for uploading documents accurately in Claim.MD. If using a CSV file, a template is available to guide column header arrangement.
- Click the button.
- Locate the claim file on your local drive and open it.
- Click the button. A loading circle will display while uploading.

- Click to stay on the screen.
