Overview
Ambiki supports integration with several major clearinghouses for electronic claims and remittance processing. If your practice already has an account with a clearinghouse, you can connect it directly to streamline billing and ensure claims are sent electronically without manual uploads or re-enrolling with payers you already work with.
Ambiki supports integration with several major clearinghouses for electronic claims and remittance processing. If your practice already has an account with a clearinghouse, you can connect it directly to streamline billing and ensure claims are sent electronically without manual uploads or re-enrolling with payers you already work with.
Currently, we support the following clearinghouses:
- Office Ally
- Claim.MD
-
Availity
Each clearinghouse requires slightly different information to establish a SFTP connection. For specific field-level details, please refer to the Companion Guides provided by each clearinghouse. Connecting your own account is optional — if you don’t already have a clearinghouse account, Ambiki can handle claim submission for you.
