Payment Posting, ERA, and EFT: Why Accurate Reconciliation Protects Revenue
Editorial reference. A current specialist review record is not available. Confirm current payer policies before acting. Our editorial policy
Payment posting is more than data entry — it is where underpayments and missed denials are caught. ERA/EFT done right keeps your A/R honest.
Posting payments accurately from electronic remittance (ERA/835) and EFT is the control point where underpayments, contractual adjustments, and hidden denials are either caught or quietly written off.
Do it right
- Auto-post ERAs and reconcile to EFT deposits
- Validate contractual adjustments against expected rates
- Route denials and zero-pays to the right work queue
- Flag underpayments for recovery, not write-off
Why it matters
Sloppy posting buries underpayments in "contractual adjustments" and lets denials disappear. Clean posting keeps your A/R and your net collection rate trustworthy.
