EFT/ERA Enrollment

Streamline the payment process by signing up for Electronic Funds Transfer and Electronic Remittance Advice.

Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT)

You can receive direct reimbursement through EFT, a safe alternative to paper checks. EFT lets you:

• Get claim payments through ACH direct deposit
• Improve cash flow with quicker payments
• Eliminate bank fees for paper check deposits or lockbox
• Track deposits with online banking services (if available)
• Streamline administrative processing by managing access online

Electronic Remittance Advice (ERA)

The Electronic Remittance Advice (ERA), also called 835, is the electronic transaction that provides claim payment information in the 5010A1 format required by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). When you register for ERA, you will:

• Save time tracking claim payment information
• Reduce manual posting errors
• Receive payment information faster
• Please note: You will stop receiving paper Explanation of Benefits (EOBs) after 31 days or 3 payments (whichever is longer).
