How to Upload an 835 ERA for Claims Remittance
Managing billing and remittance has just become a lot easier. StoriiCare now supports the uploading of 835 Electronic Remittance Advice (ERA) files, allowing your billing team to reconcile insurance payments directly within the platform. If you are using our connected clearinghouse partner Stedi, no manual upload is required - claims will be auto-reconciled via our API connection!
What is an 835 ERA File?
An 835 file is the standard electronic format used by payers (insurance companies and Medicare/Medicaid programs) to communicate claim payment details and adjustments.
