Answer: CareFirst has enhanced its electronic claims submission for dental providers, and is now providing Electric Funds Transfer (EFT) services, which allows providers to receive payments electronically. A clearinghouse manages provider enrollment and validation date.
We are also providing Electronic Remittance Advice (ERA) services as well, an equivalent to the Notice of Payment. Some clearinghouses auto-post the ERA and EFT to the patient’s account using the providers Practice Management System. Our new paperless submission capabilities are designed to improve efficiency, reduce administrative complexity and improve turnaround time. Claims for FEP members can now also be submitted electronically.
