- Electronic remittance (ERA 835): multi step enrollment, typically takes hours
Workflow Considerations
- Run eligibility and benefits through 270/271 before visits, and use 276/277 to check claim status electronically.
- Submit dental, institutional, or professional claims using the applicable 837D, 837I, or 837P format.
- Complete payer enrollment before relying on EFT or ERA for payment and remittance workflows.
- If your workflow requires combined ERA/EFT, plan separate EFT and ERA processes because the combined transaction is unavailable.
- Use the payer's permitted non-electronic process for coordination of benefits and attachments.
