CR Mobile / Single Sign-On (SSO) CR Mobile and SSO FAQ

1. What will the new CR Mobile and SSO workflow experience be?

Users can complete their first-time authentication (validating their email) on the browser or in the CR Mobile application. However, since users will be directed to the same SSO website from either experience, CR Mobile users must have an online connection every time they re-authenticate their username and password.

For first-time authentication, it is recommended for users to validate their email address in CentralReach (browser) prior to signing into CR Mobile.

2. What is “Biometrics”?

Biometrics is the option to use Face ID or Touch ID when signing into CR Mobile. This feature depends on the mobile device’s capabilities. Therefore, if a mobile device does not support Face ID or Touch ID, users will not have the ability to enable this feature.

3. Will I need to do MFA and biometrics every time I use the app?

Yes, biometrics (Face ID/ Touch ID) will need to be completed every time users access the application. Biometrics will “replace” the security code needed to access the application. If biometrics is not set up, users will enter their PIN code when accessing the application.

Biometrics is used in place of the Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) verification code. If MFA is enabled, CR Mobile users need either an authenticator application or access to an email address when logging in, along with their username, password, and security code. Please note, users must be connected to the Internet when re-authenticating their username and password.

Claims / Clearinghouses / CR Mobile / Electronic Visit Verification (EVV) Netsmart (Tellus) – The In’s and Out’s

The Florida Agency for Healthcare Administration’s (AHCA) program has contracted Netsmart (Tellus) to be used for Electronic Visit Verification (EVV) in Florida Medicaid regions 9, 10, and 11. CentralReach is integrated with Netsmart (Tellus) to support seamless EVV claim submission.

Connecting CentralReach to Netsmart (Tellus)

In order to link Netsmart (Tellus) to your CentralReach account, providers need to sign up for Netsmart (Tellus). A gateway should also be set up in CentralReach for Netsmart (Tellus). Once users have an account with Netsmart (Tellus), they will have access to a portal to view the status of claims in Netsmart’s (Tellus’) claim dashboard.

Organizations must:

Please note, if multiple services were provided for the same client on the same day, the claims should not be combined.

Secondary Billing

If billing the Florida Agency for Healthcare Administration (AHCA) as the secondary, the primary payor must use the CR Mobile workflow with visit verification enabled. Users must then receive an electronic payment from the payor and generate a secondary claim.

Rendered Service Files

CentralReach will send a rendered service file with all required fields to Netsmart (Tellus). The “Responses” section of the Claims Manager will update with an “accepted” or “rejected” status. If the file is accepted, providers can log into Netsmart’s (Tellus’) portal and release the file for Netsmart (Tellus) to generate an 837 claim to send to Medicaid. Netsmart (Tellus) may take up to 4 hours to process the file and make it available in the portal. If it does not appear in that time period, please contact Netsmart (Tellus) support. If the file is rejected, it will state the information that was incorrect. Once the file is corrected, it can be resent to Netsmart (Tellus).

CR Mobile / Getting Started Supported Browsers and Devices

Click here for more information on CentralReach’s supported devices and browsers.

Supported Browsers and Operating Systems

CentralReach actively tests and qualifies every software release over the latest version of Chrome and Safari browsers. However, CentralReach will support all of the major commercial browsers (Chrome, Safari, Edge, Firefox) by actively addressing issues reported over their latest versions.

  • To allow CentralReach to maintain its continued focus on delivering great software, we will routinely withdraw support for certain browser versions and devices, as supporting legacy browsers inhibits the ability to innovate, ensure security, and deliver new features.
  • Generally, as long as the browser is in compliance regardless of OS or device specifications, we will consider addressing issues on a case-by-case basis.
  • Microsoft Internet Explorer is not recommended nor supported for any of the CR Products.

Recommended Mobile Devices

A major factor in mobile platform testing is the underlying mobile operating system and the feature set the specific version provides. CentralReach will qualify each mobile software release against the following major mobile device product lines: the OS version under test will be the latest version that the manufacturer/product line allows (general availability, not beta). CentralReach recommends the following mobile devices and corresponding operating systems for the CR Mobile application:

  • Samsung Galaxy S9 and later S series of mobile phones.
  • Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 and later A series of tablets.
  • Apple iPhone 8 and following models updatable to the last iOS version.
  • Apple iPad 6th Generation and iPad Pro 3rd Generation of tablets and following models updatable to the last iOS version.

While CentralReach is no longer certifying Amazon Kindle tablets, nor Internet Explorer, CentralReach is still accessible via this device and browser. However, for an optimal user experience, it is recommended to transition away from this device and browser in the near future.
