What is ERA?
ERA stands for Electronic Remittance Advice. This is the electronic version of an EOB (explanation of benefits) that indicates if and how an insurance payer remitted on a submitted claim. Once an ERA has been uploaded into ShareNote Community, it can be viewed and processed.
What is EDI?
EDI stands for Electronic Data Interchange. This is the name of the file that is transmitted from ShareNote Community to the clearinghouse, then on to the payer.
Some payers require EDI enrollment through the clearinghouse in order to submit electronic claims. You cannot submit claims to payers that require an EDI enrollment until the enrollment is approved by the payer.
