The Availity Remittance Viewer Tool has been upgraded to better assist you with viewing, searching and reconciling Electronic Remittance Advices (835 ERA). It is available to providers who are enrolled to receive 835 ERA files from Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Texas (BCBSTX). If you have not yet enrolled, you can register online via the Availity Portal. Refer to the Availity ERA Tip Sheet for enrollment instructions.
Remittance Viewer upgraded features:
- Displays the last 48 hours of remittances upon opening the tool.
- New search functionality is available to locate specific information with advanced filtering.
A search can be done by check number, Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) trace number or BCBSTX claim number. When entering a check number, claim number or patient/member ID, this tool presents applicable options using the characters entered by the user. Also, the Claim Search option now offers filter fields, which allows users to specify the exceptions and adjustment code(s), as needed.
