Using EFT

Once you begin to receive EFT payments from ECHO, you will not receive Explanation of Payment (EOP) or Explanation of Benefits (EOB) by U.S. mail. You can access and print EOP and EOB information through ECHO’s provider portal, www.providerpayments.com.

If you have not yet registered for the ECHO Provider Payments Portal, register now.

NOTE: ECHO EFT enrollment is separate from ECHO provider portal registration. Draft number and draft amount (supplied with your payment from ECHO) and your TIN are required for first-time registration.

To obtain the processing result for EFT-paid claims, you can use the Inquiry page on www.providerpayments.com

If a claim is denied, no payment is due and there will be no EFT transaction. Non-payment transaction documents are also posted.
