@all Hi Team, I am receiving an error whe sending claims, saying "the practice is not active" I tried to send it through ledger, and through batch as well, I had the same, after hitting send, give me the error rejected, it doesnt matter which patient I do, did anyone have that issue in the past? Tested the connection and it seem to be fine, not sure, any ideas?

A dental/medical claim management interface shows a **REJECTED** status for patient **TEMPLETON, STEVEN** (Payor: AMERITAS GROUP, Claim Number: **DNT1258822562**, Service Date: **12/17/2024**). The rejection message reads: *"Invalid Claim Data for submittedId: ca3ff247-b9bc-4f99-9fda-2617befe6aa1. 1. Practice is not active."* A red X icon is visible in the status column, and a pink arrow annotation points to the error message text.

this usually means that the provider they are trying to bill under, is not enrolled as a billing provider

# Fix Practice Not Active Error When Sending Claims

## Problem
Claims are being rejected with the error "Practice is not active" regardless of which patient or submission method is used (ledger or batch). The error appears as "Invalid Claim Data for submittedId: [ID]. 1. Practice is not active." Connection tests pass successfully, indicating the issue is not network-related.

## Resolution
This error typically indicates that the provider being used for billing is not enrolled as a billing provider with the clearinghouse or insurance carrier.

1. Verify the default provider for claims in Practice Defaults
2. Confirm that this provider is properly enrolled as a billing provider with the relevant clearinghouse
3. Check provider enrollment status through the clearinghouse portal or contact them directly
4. If the provider is not enrolled, complete the enrollment process before attempting to submit claims

Note that having a provider set as the default in Practice Defaults does not automatically mean they are enrolled for electronic billing with insurance carriers.
