Electronic funds transfer registration
To register or manage account changes for electronic funds transfer (EFT) only, use the Council for Affordable Quality Healthcare (CAQH®) Solutions EnrollHub™ tool, a secure, electronic EFT registration platform. This tool eliminates the need for paper registration, reduces administrative time and costs, and allows you to register with multiple payers at one time.
If you were previously registered to receive EFT only, you must register with EnrollHub to manage account changes.
Electronic remittance advice registration
You can also use the Availity link to register and manage electronic remittance advice (ERA) accounts.
- If you were previously registered to receive ERA, you must register using Availity to manage ERA account changes.
Navigate to My Providers > Enrollments Center > ERA Enrollment.
