Electronic Billing Send

Use the Electronic Billing Send routine to zip the e-billing file into the required format and then move the zipped e-billing file to the location where it can be transmitted to the insurance carrier.  When the Send is complete, the e-billing file is ready to be uploaded to the carrier.

Note:  When this step is complete your file will be saved to the c:\BLAST\WEBMD.DAT or xxxxxxx (MaineCare group NPI number).  This file is overwritten each time the Send is run.
