Attachments can be included in the NEMSIS import file or manually uploaded and attached to the claim.

Important! The file size limit for claim attachments is 500 MB.

Viewing attachments on an incomplete claim

Let's quickly review how to view/work an imported claim.

  • Dashboard:

    • No issues: If the system does not have issues with the patient on the imported claim (the patient is not a possible duplicate of an existing patient record), then the imported claim will display in the 'Incomplete' workflow button on the Dashboard.

    • Issues: If there are issues with the patient on the imported claim, you will need to verify the patient information. In this case, the imported claim will display in the "Incomplete - Verify patient account" button on the Dashboard.

  • Imported Claims page: You can always see a list of import files and claim numbers generated by the import by hovering over Claims on the navigation bar and then clicking "Imported Claims." On the import file line, click the claim number to view the incomplete claim.

To view the attachments, click the "Attachments" link on the Incomplete Claim page.

The Attachments window displays all attachments included in the import.

To view, click the attachment.

To delete, click the X under the "Delete" column.
