Claims interfaces are established to assist in transferring financial data from one software to another. The common use case for these types of interfaces is when a facility/device creates claims on your behalf. These are instances such as PACS systems, Clinitek devices, etc. In these scenarios, claims are being created within iSalus programmatically. The outbound DFT channels can be established for practice's working with partners who require these files to create claims externally or do financial reporting.
