You can run RTE from any Patient or Superbill Page.

Step 2a - Select "E-Check Eligibility"

Step 2b - Manually Mark Active

Sometimes, you may need to Manually mark a policy as (in)active - select "Manual Check"

Step 3 - Run the Check

Step 4 - View the Report (optional, E-Check only)

You can view the reports for both Active and Inactive policies to receive more information.

Click the Report summary to view more information. The info available is determined on a payer-by-payer basis, dependent on what the Payer provides.

For Elation EHR + Billing users, RTE can also be run in the EHR! Running RTE in the EHR will update the Eligibility in Elation Billing, and vice versa.

Step 1 - Open the Patient's Demographics

Step 2 - Navigate to Insurance, Payment, & Membership

In the sidebar of the pop-up window, select Insurance, Payment, & Membership

Step 3 - Check Eligibility

Step 4 - View the Report (optional)
