Office Ally Integration
Before you can bill through Office Ally™, you'll need to complete a few steps. This process is fairly easy, the longest part of the process will be enrolling your payers to receive ERAs within Office Ally.
Initial Account Set-up
EDI Enrollment
If you are using Office Ally as a primary clearinghouse and not just for ERA enrollment, double check to make sure you don't need to complete any EDI enrollments. Do I need to complete EDI Enrollments in Office Ally?
Reminder: You cannot bill unless required EDI enrollments are completed.
ERA Enrollment
AlohaABA can autopost your 837 Files or ERAs. This is an itemized receipt explaining which claims were paid, denied or involve a client responsibility.
To take advantage of this feature, you'll need to enroll your payers in Office Ally for ERAs (to receive electronic payments). You can find the payer ERA enrollment forms at this link: Payer ERA Enrollment Forms. The Payers are listed alphabetically.
Once enrolled, AlohaABA will be able to track and post your payments in AR Manager. The payor enrollment process can take up to 60 days and vary by payer. You can still manually post payments while you wait to be enrolled.
ERA enrollment is not required, but highly recommended to save time when reconciling payments.
277/999 Enrollment
277/999 files are directly related to the validation of your claims. The 999 file confirms the claims were sent in the right format, and the 277 file tells us whether each claim was accepted or rejected for processing.
Receiving 277/999 Files is not required, but recommended in order to avoid logging into your clearinghouse as often to check on claims.
