Changing dental insurance claim providers

You can change the billing provider, rendering provider, and/or pay-to provider for a specific dental insurance claim.

Notes:

You can set up the default insurance claim providers and the billing provider overrides for electronic claims in the Practice Defaults.

Changing claim providers requires the "Insurance Claims, Edit" security right.
