Generating Claim Forms
The Zanda claim form is designed to capture the claim information that will be used for printing the CMS-1500 form and submitting claims to clearing house.

🗒️ We have provided the detailed information about each claim form field and how it is populates in this separate article.
Creating CMS-1500 Forms
Zanda enables you to create, print and download CMS-1500 forms to submit claims for medical services and supplies.

Frequently Asked Questions
❓ What should I check if an Ensora Clearinghouse (formerly Apex EDI) claim fails because the provider is not recognized?
Start by reviewing the provider-identifying details on the claim, then save and submit the claim again. Check that the practitioner linked to the invoice has the correct NPI Number and Taxonomy Code under User Menu > Account Settings > Team > Practitioners, and check the practice NPI Number, Taxonomy Code, and Claims Billing Address under User Menu > Account Settings > Practice > Business Info.
On the claim form, review the Diagnoses and Service section and the Biller Information section before submitting again. The rendering provider details are taken from the first claim item, while billing provider details can come from the practice or practitioner setup depending on what has been entered. If the claim has already been submitted and needs to be replaced, use Create Copy to Resubmit and enter the required resubmission details.
