Removing an unmatched claim from an ERA

If a claim on an ERA that Dentrix Ascend receives through the clearinghouse is not matched to a claim in Dentrix Ascend, you cannot find a matching claim, you can remove the claim from the ERA.

Notes:

  • This cannot be undone, and the claim will no longer be available at the current location.

  • Removing requires the "Remove Unmatched ERAs" security right.
