Turn Paper EOBs into 835 ERAs: Cut the Manual Workload
While most healthcare payments today are processed electronically, some payers still send paper Explanations of Benefits (EOBs). These documents contain the same data as their digital counterparts sent via EDI – the 835 Electronic Remittance Advice (ERA).
Even if paper EOBs make up just a small portion of your remits, they create outsized operational friction. Teams must open physical mail, read and interpret the document, and manually enter payment details into systems. This slows down payment posting, increases error risk, and wastes valuable time.
Here’s the good news: You don’t have to keep treating paper EOBs as a separate workflow. With the right tools, you can digitize paper EOBs and convert them into standard 835 ERAs, making them part of your automated revenue cycle processes.
Benefits of converting paper EOBs to 835 ERAs:
- Streamlined payment posting
- Reduced manual data entry
- Fewer errors and faster reconciliation
- Unified digital workflow for all remittances
No more separate processes. No more paperwork bottlenecks. It’s time to roll those paper EOBs into your modern digital stack – and let your team focus on what really matters.
