What is a claim resubmission?
The purpose of a resubmission is to get a clean claim on file. You have 365 days from the date of service to resubmit a revised version of a processed claim.
What is a claim reconsideration?
A claim reconsideration is a request that we previously received and processed as a clean claim. The purpose of a claim reconsideration request is to dispute/request review of the processing of a clean claim. A clean claim must be on file prior to submitting a reconsideration request. Providers have 120 days from the date of the Explanation of Benefits (EOB) to file a reconsideration.
What is a claim appeal?
Both in-network and out-of-network providers have the right to appeal the result of a decision. You’ll want to file your appeal in writing within 60 calendar days of the reconsideration response (date of EOB).
You can check out the flyer to learn more about our claim resubmission, appeals and reconsideration processes.

EFT/ERA Registration Services (EERS)
EERS offers our providers a more streamlined way to access payment services. It gives you a standardized method of electronic payment and remittance while also expediting the payee enrollment and verification process. Using the Change Healthcare tool, you can manage electronic funds transfer (EFT) and electronic remittance advice (ERA) enrollments with multiple payers on a single platform.
EFT makes it possible for us to deposit electronic payments directly into your bank account. Some benefits of setting up an EFT include:
Improved payment consistency
Fast, accurate and secure transactions
ERA is an electronic file that contains claim payment and remittance info sent to your office. The benefits of an ERA include:
Reduced manual posting of claim payment info, which saves you time and money, while improving efficiency
No need for paper Explanation of Benefits (EOB) statements
EERS offers payees multiple ways to set up EFT and ERA in order to receive transactions from multiple payers. If a provider’s tax identification number (TIN) is active in multiple states, a single registration will auto-enroll the payee for multiple payers. You can also complete registration using a national provider identifier (NPI) for payment across multiple accounts.
Registering for EERS enrollment
If you currently use Change Healthcare as a clearinghouse, you’ll still need to register for EERS enrollment. If you currently have an application pending with Change Healthcare, you won’t need to resubmit. Once you’re enrolled, you can use the Change Healthcare user guide to help you navigate the new system.
To enroll in EERS, you can visit Change Healthcare Payer Enrollment Services.
