Get paid faster with electronic claims payment

Humana invites physicians and other health care providers to enroll in electronic claims payment to enjoy the following advantages over traditional paper checks:

  • Faster payment processing
  • Reduced manual effort
  • Access to online or electronic remittance information
  • Reduced risk of lost or stolen checks

With electronic funds transfer (EFT), Humana claims payments are deposited directly in the bank account(s) of choice. To participate, physicians and other health care providers will need to enroll for Humana electronic remittance advice (ERA), which replaces the paper version of their explanation of remittance (EOR). There is no cost to enroll; however, physicians and other health care providers need to check with their clearinghouse and/or financial institution to see if fees apply for electronic transactions.
