Electronic Payment for Providers
It’s easy to further expedite your claims payments by signing up for electronic funds transfer (EFT) payments that are direct deposited into your bank account. You don’t have to wait for our checks to arrive in the mail or manually sort, reconcile, and deposit checks.
You will need to complete both of the following two steps to begin receiving EFT payments and remittances:
- To set up EFT payments, fill out the EFT Request Form.
- To receive electronic remittance advice files, enroll with Availity directly.
