The Availity Remittance Viewer tool has been upgraded to better assist you with viewing, searching and reconciling Electronic Remittance Advices (835 ERA). Remittance Viewer is available to providers who are enrolled to receive 835 ERA files from Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Montana (BCBSOK). If you have not yet enrolled with BCBSOK, you can register online via the Availity Portal. Refer to the Availity ERA tip sheet for enrollment instructions.
Remittance Viewer upgraded features:
- Improved data response — Remittance Viewer now displays the provider organization’s last 48 hours of remittances upon opening the tool.
- More search options — New search technology is available for providers to locate specific information with advanced filtering.
Providers can search by check number, Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) trace number or BCBSOK claim number. Additionally, when entering a check number, claim number or patient/member ID, this intuitive tool presents applicable options as the user enters characters. Also, the Claim search option now offers additional filter fields, allowing users to specify the exceptions and adjustment code(s), as needed.
