Creating a new Insurance Claim from the Calendar
To create a new claim, go to a session in the Calendar and select a client. Then go to Payment Actions and Create Claim.
Don't see Create Claim as an option? Ensure you have completed the Create Claim requirements listed later in this article.
The Create Claim view will pre-populate information based on pre-entered details from Services & Fees, Client Session, Client Coverage etc. You can make changes to your claim in this view that only impact the individual claim itself.
Creating a Claim from the Clients View
You can also create new claims from the Clients view. This enables you to create more than one claim at once by selecting multiple services at the same time.
First, select Clients, then Insurance, and finally select the Claims tab.
Next, you can select multiple services at once by selecting the check boxes to the left of each entry. After you have made your selections, select Create Claim to continue to the Create Claim view.
Here you will see the same view that we explored when creating a claim from the Calendar view, however now there are multiple claims listed in the same view, which can be expanded by selecting the chevrons to the left.
Under the Prior Authorizations tab you can enter information pertaining to prior authorizations such as the Prior Authorization Number, the CPT Code, and the dates it is Valid From and Valid Until.

Required Information for Claim Creation
Before you can successfully create and submit an electronic claim, certain fields must be completed or auto-populated by the system. If any required data is missing, incomplete, or invalid, the system will show the available action in a disabled state until you have completed the requirements.
Prerequisites for a 'Ready to Submit' claim
Before a claim can appear in the system (e.g., in Ready to Submit status), the following setup steps must be completed:
- Billing Profile for Provider – A billing profile must be created and active for the therapist submitting the claim.
- Payer Enrollment – The insurance payer must be added to the system and enrollment must be active.
- Client Contact & Clinical Details – The client profile must include Phone Number, Full United States address, and Diagnosis code(s).
- Insurance Coverage – At least one insurance coverage plan must be added to the client profile with the required policy holder details.
- Attended Session – The client must have at least one attended session recorded.
- Invoiced Session – The attended session must be invoiced to generate claimable charges.
Note: If any of these prerequisites are missing, a claim cannot be created and will not appear in the Ready to Submit list.
The table below outlines all fields used in claim creation, whether they are required, how they are populated, and any important notes for completion.
Submitting your Claim
Once you have entered in all of the necessary information, the Submit Claim button will turn green and selecting it will submit your claim.
Note: Submitted claims cost $0.25 per claim.
