Once you have set up a client’s coverage, you can begin creating claims. Please note that a session can only be referenced on one claim at any given time, this is a way to mitigate fraudulent submissions, and only after it has been fully invoiced within Owl. Click HERE to learn more about Owl’s billing functions. It is important to know that you can submit claims for sessions that have not yet been paid, have been partially paid by the client, or that have been fully paid by the client. How and when you take payment from clients for your sessions and manage the claims lifecycle is entirely up to you.

- Open a Client Profile and go to Insurance > Claims
