Claims not going through?

Carrier network error, certificate expired, or iTrans itself is down. Here's how to tell the difference and what to do.

Check live status first - most outages are on the carrier's end, not yours.

iTrans Status ↗
Carrier Outages

Most claim errors aren't an IT problem.

Sun Life, Manulife, Pacific Blue Cross, Canada Life, Claimsecure, and the Telus carrier network all go down periodically. When they do, claims from every dental office in the country reject at once. Check the status page, wait, and resubmit.

The status page will note when an issue is external to iTrans and that no call to your software vendor is needed.
