If the health insurance you work with does not offer electronic EOB/ERA (just paper one), you will need to post payments from the health insurance manually.
In addition, if you're enrolled for EOB on TheraPlatform, but you're sill waiting for insurance to complete the enrollment on their end, you would need to post payments manually till the insurance completes the enrollment on their end.
There are multiple workflows for posting payments manually. You can post them form the client's chart, from Billing and Calendar.
Note: To post payments from insurance manually, the claim needs to be in "Accepted" status.

When you add health insurance in TheraPlatform that you work with, our system will notify you right away if this health insurance offers EOB/ERA enrollment and you can sign up for EOB/ERA so payments from the health insurance are posted automatically in TheraPlatform.
