This article explains how to use the Worklist to manage claims and tags in Elation Billing.

## Using the Worklist

### Navigate

1. **Access Worklist** - Click on the **Worklist** menu item.

2. **Alternative Access** - You can also click on a worklist tag from the Dashboard. This will take you to a filtered view of the worklist for that tag.

Now you are looking at a filtered worklist. You can right-click and open in a new tab on claims if you don't want to lose your place on the filtered results.

All results display a red NEEDS AUTH tag; entry 64 also has a NEEDS NDC tag." width="1141" height="570" data-path="images/intercom/ec197a55ee49_Worklist.png" />

### Add To/Remove From the Worklist

There are basically 3 ways claims end up on the worklist:

* A Clearinghouse Rejection or Payer Denial
* Claim does not pass Billing Rules (controlled in practice settings)
* Manual adding of a Claim to the Worklist

Because the first 2 are automatic, we will focus on the 3rd, Manually Adding.

#### Manually Add To/Remove From the Worklist

1. **Access Tags** - On a **Superbill's** page, click on the **Tags** button or the **Worklist** button.

2. **Select Yes or No** - Select **Yes** or **No** to add or remove a claim from the worklist, then **Save**.

### Add or Edit Tags

#### Claims Without Tags

Claims that do not have any tags are automatically categorized under the **general Superbill tab** in the Billing tab. This ensures untagged claims remain easy to locate and manage.

You can **Edit** and **Delete** tags from inside the practice settings. You can **Add** tags at any time. Just click the plus button.

#### Auto-removal of Tags

Some tags are automatically removed based on system actions. For example:

* **Rejection or Denied Tags** - Resolving errors and rebilling a claim will result in the system auto-removing the **rejected** or **denied** tags, ensuring the claim reflects its updated status without manual intervention.

#### Manually Removing Tags

In certain situations, tags must be removed manually. For instance, when a claim is paid or settled without needing a rebill action. To remove tags:

1. **Open the Claim** - Open the claim in Elation Billing.
2. **Access Tags** - Click on the **Tags** section.
3. **Uncheck Tags** - Uncheck any active tags associated with the claim.
4. **Save** - Click **Save** to complete the process.

## Worklist Tag Automation

Some aspects of the Worklist are Automated. The guide below lays out these tags, statuses, and their associated automations!

<table>
  <thead>
    <tr>
      <th>Tag</th>
      <th>Description</th>
    </tr>
  </thead>

  <tbody>
    <tr>
      <td><strong>Appealed</strong></td>
      <td><strong>Appealed</strong> will be added once a claim is Appealed through Elation Billing.</td>
    </tr>

    <tr>
      <td><strong>Billed</strong></td>
      <td><strong>Billed</strong> will be added once a claim is electronically <strong>Billed</strong> from the Claims Queue.</td>
    </tr>

    <tr>
      <td><strong>Biller Review</strong></td>

      <td>
        <strong>Biller Review</strong> could be added for two reasons:

        <ol>
          <li><strong>Biller Review</strong> will be added when a claim is sent from the EHR to Elation Billing. It will be added to the Worklist.</li>
          <li>If the All Claims Rule is on. <a href="/articles/practice-settings-setup-and-overview">Learn more about this and other Billing Rules here.</a></li>
        </ol>
      </td>
    </tr>

    <tr>
      <td><strong>Corrected</strong></td>
      <td><strong>Corrected</strong> will be added once a claim is submitted as a Corrected Claim.</td>
    </tr>

    <tr>
      <td><strong>Denied</strong></td>
      <td>When a claim is Denied, it will automatically be added to the <strong>Denied</strong> worklist. You can review more information about the Denial via the <a href="/articles/claim-history">Claim's History</a>.</td>
    </tr>

    <tr>
      <td><strong>Location Conflict</strong></td>
      <td>This may be added automatically depending on your practice's Billing Rules. <a href="/articles/practice-settings-setup-and-overview">Click Here for more info on Billing Rules!</a></td>
    </tr>

    <tr>
      <td><strong>Needs Auth</strong></td>
      <td>This may be added automatically depending on your practice's Billing Rules. <a href="/articles/practice-settings-setup-and-overview">Click Here for more info on Billing Rules!</a></td>
    </tr>

    <tr>
      <td><strong>Needs Eligibility</strong></td>
      <td>This may be added automatically depending on your practice's Billing Rules. <a href="/articles/practice-settings-setup-and-overview">Click Here for more info on Billing Rules!</a></td>
    </tr>

    <tr>
      <td><strong>New Patient</strong></td>
      <td>This may be added automatically depending on your practice's Billing Rules. <a href="/articles/practice-settings-setup-and-overview">Click Here for more info on Billing Rules!</a></td>
    </tr>

    <tr>
      <td><strong>No Response</strong></td>

      <td>
        <p>When Elation Billing hasn't received a qualifying payer response within the threshold set in <strong>Settings > Practice Settings > Billing Rules</strong>. The default is 30 days.</p>
        <p><strong>How to resolve it</strong></p>

        <ol>
          <li>Confirm the <strong>No Response</strong> rule is on and check the threshold.</li>
          <li>Open the <strong>Claim History</strong>. The tag clears automatically on qualifying responses (APPROVED, REJECTED, CROSSOVER, MARKED BILLED, and others), settled claims, or posted payments.</li>
          <li>If no response exists, follow up with the payer and verify ERA and clearinghouse enrollment.</li>
        </ol>

        <p><strong>What won't work</strong></p>
        <p>Removing the tag manually is temporary — it returns on the next daily job if the claim still meets the criteria. There's no bulk removal option.</p>
      </td>
    </tr>

    <tr>
      <td><strong>Queued</strong></td>
      <td>The <strong>only</strong> time a Claim will have this tag is when it is in the Claims Queue. This tag <strong>cannot</strong> be manually applied like the other tags.</td>
    </tr>

    <tr>
      <td><strong>Rejected</strong></td>

      <td>
        <p>The <strong>Rejected</strong> tag will be added if a claim is Rejected. It will be added to the Worklist.</p>
        <p>An Alert will be present on the Superbill (as well in the Claim's History) with the text from the Rejection.</p>
      </td>
    </tr>
