Single Access Point for 835 EFT and ERA Enrollments

March 12, 2021

Starting May 3, 2021, Blue Cross and Blue Shield of New Mexico (BCBSNM) will offer a single access point for enrollment in Electronic Funds Transfer (835 EFT) and/or Electronic Remittance Advice (835 ERA). As of this date, faxed or mailed EFT or ERA enrollment applications including change/cancel requests will be returned and redirected to the electronic option.

Electronic enrollment remains an opt-in arrangement. If you currently receive paper checks and/or provider claim summaries you can continue to do so. However, enrolling will increase efficiencies within your provider organization, allows for more convenience, and heightens security of patient and provider information.

Education and Training
While the electronic enrollment process is easily followed, BCBSNM is hosting complementary webinar trainings for you to learn how to enroll online via Availity®. To register for a session, select your preferred date and time below:

If these dates and times are not convenient for your office, you may contact Electronic Commerce Services for training.
