In the list of Claims for that Recipient, look for entries that match the submitted claim dates and check whether they are now available.


10. Upload the Request E-Billing File

If you’ve already received a response for at least one claim from the submitted E-Billing, you can now upload the Request E-Billing file to obtain the processing results.

To do this:

Click the BROWSE button and navigate to your Downloads folder to locate the extracted .dat file.

Possible statuses include:

  • Paid → The claim has been paid.

    In this case, it is recommended to verify the claim directly in the Florida Medicaid Web Portal.
