Electronic Payments and Statements EPS
• Receive payments and EOBs five to seven days faster than with paper
• Multiple claim payments generated in one day for the same payer are combined into one deposit or VCP and one electronic EOB for easy reconciliation
• Simplified processing and reconciliation – automate payment posting using the 835/ERA or continue with your existing paper process using our EOB printing options
• Print either a single consolidated file (less paper) containing all EOBs for a given deposit or print individual EOBs to submit to other carriers for your
secondary claim submissions
• EOBs are available for 13 months and can be downloaded as PDF files to store on your own system
• Reduced risk of lost, misrouted and stolen checks
• Potential elimination of bank lockbox fees
• Practice management software and technical expertise are NOT required.
• You can post payments the same way you do today
