Electronic Remittance Advice (ERA) Requests Only Processed When Received From Providers
Medicare receives requests every day for electronic remittance notices. Due to privacy issues we can no longer honor the requests that come from billing services or clearinghouses. These requests must be signed and forwarded to Medicare from the provider requesting this service.
Many clearinghouses are currently sending us lists of provider numbers to change, but it has been our experience that some of these providers are not ready to change. This can result in payment information being forwarded to parties that are not entitled to the information.
ERA requests received from clearinghouses may be returned to the clearinghouse for correct processing. You can obtain a copy of the ERA Input sheet from the following: http://www.wpsic.com/edi/pdf/edi_ern_medb.pdf (pdf)
