Electronic remittance advice (ERA)

The 835 eliminates the need for paper remittance reconciliation. The ERA 835 must be registered with ODM for the Ohio Medicaid plan. Please fill out the 835 trading partner form and submit your EDI registration to ODM.

Providers can access their ERAs through Availity Essentials.

Note: If you use a clearinghouse or vendor, please work with them on ERA registration and receiving your ERAs with ODM. Commercial policies with Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield (Anthem) will continue to be registered and managed by Availity.

Electronic funds transfer (EFT)

Electronic claims payment through electronic funds transfer (EFT) is a secure and fast way to receive payment, reducing administrative processes. EFT deposits are assigned a trace number that is matched to the 835 electronic remittance advice (ERA) for simple payment reconciliation.

Use EnrollSafe to register and manage EFT account changes.

Note: If a provider does not enroll in EFT, they will receive a paper check or virtual card.
