What is ERA?
ERA stands for Electronic Remittance Advice. This is the electronic version of an EOB (explanation of benefits) that indicates if and how an insurance payer remitted on a submitted claim. Once an ERA has been uploaded into WebABA, it can be viewed and processed it by following this set of instructions.
Payers require ERA enrollment through the clearinghouse in order to receive ERAs in your WebABA account.
What is EDI?
EDI stands for Electronic Data Interchange (Claim Submission). This is the name of the file that is transmitted from WebABA to the clearinghouse, then on to the payer.
Some Payers require EDI Enrollment through the Clearinghouse in order to submit electronic Claims. Learn if your Payer requires EDI Enrollment.
