Billing Onboarding Checklist: What You're Responsible For

Edited

Getting your billing set up correctly in StoriiCare involves a few processes that our team supports, but ultimately require your input and sign-off. Use this checklist to make sure everything is in place before you start generating invoices or submitting claims.

Note: StoriiCare configures much of your billing setup for you — including services, billing plans, and payers — but it's your responsibility to verify this information before relying on it for live billing.


Step 1: Sign Up for Stedi (Clearinghouse) for Reimbursements

Stedi is StoriiCare's preferred clearinghouse partner for submitting claims and receiving electronic remittance advice. Getting connected is a shared process — here's your part:

  • Register for a Stedi account using this custom link

  • Install the StoriiCare App inside your Stedi account

  • Complete transaction enrollments directly in your Stedi account for each payer that requires them — this includes 835 ERA enrollment (required for all payers) and 837 claim enrollment (varies by payer)

  • Confirm credentialing and contracting are completed directly with each payer — StoriiCare and Stedi only support the technical transaction enrollment step, not credentialing or contracting.

Note: Enrollments can take 1–3 weeks (longer for Medicare and Medicaid), so complete this step early to avoid delays in claim submission.

Note: If you have multiple locations, whether you need a single Stedi account/Provider or a separate Provider record per location depends on whether your locations share the same EIN and NPI. Check with your StoriiCare contact if you're unsure which applies to you.

Note: If you're enrolling with Medicaid in Massachusetts, you'll be asked to download, complete, and re-upload a form. It must be printed on your centre's letterhead and dated, or the enrollment will be rejected.

Step 2: Sign up for Stripe for Private Payments

If you'll be collecting private payments through StoriiCare, you'll need to complete Stripe onboarding.

  • Prepare your business details, authorized representative information, and bank account details in advance

  • Navigate to Billing > Settings > Payments and click Start Enrollment to begin the Stripe onboarding flow

  • Complete and submit the Stripe application, and agree to Stripe's Terms of Service

Step 3: Configure 837 Export Settings

When it comes to claims submissions, StoriiCare configures most of the participant-specific settings on the 837 export for you, but the following still require your attention:

  • Complete the Provider Specific Setup under Billing > Settings > Exports > 837s Export > Center Specific with your agency's business information

  • Double-check the Participant Specific settings to confirm Face Sheet fields are populated correctly — missing or incorrect fields here are a common cause of claim rejections

  • Verify required fields such as Policy/Insurance ID, Insurance Type, Participant Address, Insurance Group/Plan number, Prior Authorization Code, and Primary Problem Code (ICD10)

Note: If you're submitting claims through Stedi, you do not need to complete manual Payer Setup — this is handled automatically through the API connection.

Tip: Use the NPPES NPI Registry to verify your NPI numbers, legal provider name, and taxonomy codes before submitting.

Step 4: Double-Check Your Billing Configuration

StoriiCare gets you started by configuring services, billing plans, and payers on your behalf — but this information must be verified before you generate invoices or submit claims.
