[Outside the US? See the HMO and international insurance pages.](https://help.clinikehr.com/hospital/insurance/claims.md) A **Claims workspace** is a ClinikEHR workspace whose menu shows **Medi-Cal Claims** only. It is for a biller or practice that wants the Medi-Cal file maker and nothing else. It is the same ClinikEHR account, the same agreements and the same Free plan; the rest of the product is hidden, not removed.

You accept the same Business Associate Agreement, Terms and Privacy Policy as every ClinikEHR account. **3.

Select Add a clinic** From your home page. **2. Turn on A Claims workspace (Medi-Cal claim files)** The switch says "Opens on Claims with the rest of the menu hidden.

Confirm** The dialog says "Every ClinikEHR section comes back in your menu for everyone in this clinic. Nothing is created, moved or lost, and your claims stay where they are. You can hide sections again in Settings, Navigation." Select **Turn on**. To hide sections again later, see [Navigation](https://help.clinikehr.com/practice/settings/navigation.md). You see "The full EHR is on" and "Every section is back in your menu. Nothing was moved or lost." Patients, scheduling, notes, billing and the rest are available again. Only the clinic owner can do this. Everyone else sees "Only the clinic owner can turn on the full EHR." ## Check it worked * The menu opens on **Medi-Cal Claims** after sign-in. * After **Turn on**, the **Your Claims workspace** card is gone and the other sections are in the menu. ## Common issues > [accordion] I do not see A Claims workspace in Add a clinic > > It is offered to owners whose profile country is the United States, on the full edition.
