ERA Auto-posting
PracticeSuite implements ERA automation, which is an advanced AI-driven solution for automating ERA posting and operates based on pre-set user-defined rules.
Users can add and edit rules using the ERA Rule screen created as part of the setup. The auto-post functionality will then automatically post any ERA in the system according to these rules.
Setup
Rules for auto-posting are created through the Billing Options page. The billing options page now has a new field ‘Setup ERA Posting’ beside the ‘Autosave ERA’ field. Click on ‘Configure’ beside this to create or edit rules for ERA posting automation.
This will take the user to the ERA Posting Configuration screen, where all existing rules will be listed.
To add a new rule, click on ‘Add New’ in the top-left corner of the screen to open the rule configuration screen. Click on the 
to edit any rule.
