User Guide — ERA Payers List
ERA stands for Electronic Remittance Advice. ERA is essentially an electronic representation of the EOB. The standard transaction format is known as the ANSI 835 transaction.
ERA versus EFT
EFT stands for Electronic Funds Transfer. EFT uses electronic messages to instruct a bank to credit an account. EFT is performed using the ACH transaction format that is standard across the banking industry.
It is important to note that ERA and EFT are completely separate functions:
- In ERA, the paper EOB is rendered as an electronic file.
- In EFT, the paper check is rendered as an electronic file.
$0 batches may be opened automatically by athenahealth even when the payer is not considered a paperless payer.
