Submitter Profiles Library

A Submitter Profile needs to be created for each clearinghouse and direct payer that you use for submitting electronic claims. The information in a submitter profile includes a combination of your submitter information and electronic file options that are specified by the clearinghouse and direct payer, which allow the electronic claim to be accepted and processed without rejection. The Submitter Profile Library Maintenance security right enables users to access the Submitter Profile Library and to create and modify Submitter Profiles. Note: If you want electronic claims to be created for certain payers, payer-specific submitter profiles must be attached at the Payer master level. Set Up Submitter Profiles
