BCBS EFT Enrollment Process and Benefits

To enroll in the Blue Cross Blue Shield Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) process, you'll need to submit a request to your bank.

BCBS EFT enrollment is a convenient way to receive your insurance payments directly into your bank account.

To initiate the process, you'll need to provide your bank account information, including your account number and routing number.

This information will be used to set up a direct deposit, which will allow your insurance payments to be automatically transferred into your account.

Enrolling in Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) with Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Illinois (BCBSIL) is a straightforward process. You can start by printing a Practitioner Checklist or Facility/Business Checklist to track your progress and ensure you submit all necessary documents.

To enroll in EFT and Electronic Remittance Advice (ERA), you'll need to access the Transaction Enrollment tool on the Availity Provider Portal, which became the single online access point for enrollment in May 2021.

You can enroll in electronic options voluntarily, but it's worth considering the benefits of increased administrative efficiency, convenience, and security of patient and provider information.

To get started, refer to the Claim Payment and Remittance page for more information. You can also join a free webinar to walk you through the process, or use the EFT and ERA Enrollment User Guide for instructions.

If you're already enrolled for 835 EFT and ERA delivery from BCBSIL, you don't need to enroll again – simply use Availity's Transaction Enrollment tool to change or cancel your existing delivery.
