Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) payments are more convenient, reduce paper handling, streamline lockbox services, and reduce the risk of lost payments. Even more significant are the advantages of getting an Electronic Remittance Advice (ERA) with each EFT. Delivered in your desired format, the ERA can be directly imported into your practice management or health information system, eliminating the need to re-key remittance details from check stubs, a process that is time consuming and often introduces errors.

Payspan is designed for healthcare organizations, payers and providers alike, who seek to bring the promise of HIPAA administrative simplification to reality. Specifically, Payspan Inc. automates the last leg of the healthcare claims adjudication process – payment and remittance. To accomplish this mission, Payspan Inc. optimizes funds transfer and remittance posting by leveraging HIPAA-standard 835 payment and remittance protocols.

Payspan makes the transition to electronic payment and remittance quick, easy and cost effective. No service fees are required for your participation in the standard Payspan offering. You need only enroll in the standard Payspan service to immediately begin receiving EFTs and ERAs from payers using the service. As another advantage to Payspan, you will register once, instead of having to register multiple times with multiple payers. Payspan also gives you the ability to manage payment streams from multiple payers in one place. Yet another attribute of Payspan is the ability to select a specific format for ERA delivery, which then allows for direct importation into your practice management or health information system.

A payer will notify you that they are using the Payspan service to pay you electronically. In fact, you may be reading this now because one or more of your payers has already informed you of this opportunity, perhaps through a message on a recent check stub or through a provider outreach program. Besides communicating the advantages of this program, you may have received a registration code. This code is all you need to get started. Simply go to www.payspanhealth.com and spend 5 to 10 minutes for an online enrollment process. Once registered, you will automatically be alerted to EFT payments and to the availability of associated ERAs. If you have not yet received a registration code, contact your payers, or contact the Payspan support team by going to the Payspan website.

In the past, the lack of remittance information to clearly associate EFT payments to the appropriate remittance details hindered progress. Payspan eliminates this typical problem by delivering complete remittance details to you with each EFT payment. To make the connection between payment and remittance details as automated and efficient as possible, Payspan offers you the option to receive remittance information in a HIPAA 835 format. You can easily reconcile payments without having to re-key information, reducing errors and simplifying the receivables management process. Another Payspan difference is the online enrollment process, which is fast and easy to complete from a single Internet location.

Medical providers and dentists are not required to have EDI handling capability. A great feature of the Payspan offering is the ability to receive and view the ERA online. All that is required is an Internet connection. After receiving email notification of payment, providers can log into the Payspan Provider Portal to view the remittance detail. Additionally, the remittance can be printed locally or downloaded in a HIPAA 835 format. This unique delivery capability also includes the robust search and retrieval features required for payment verification, dispute resolution and self-service remittance reprints on-demand.

Separating Payspan from all alternatives, remittance details are delivered with each EFT payment, viewable online and downloadable in a HIPAA 835 format. The availability of remittance details in an electronic format means that providers do not have to re-key remittance information off a check stub or PDF image, which reduces errors and saves time in provider reconciliation processes. Additionally, if you do not have EDI capabilities, the online remittance view delivers the remittance detail via your browser. All that is required is enrollment in the Payspan service and an Internet connection. The online remittance view can be printed locally at your office location, addressing your unique workflow needs.
