Reconciliation Process Using the Re-association Trace Number

Prestige Health Choice 13

EFT payments Re-association number Payer remits

Three easy steps

Step 1: Contact your bank. Ask your bank to include the re-association trace number in the Corporate credit or debit entry (CCD) transaction. The CCD is a transaction received with your EFT payment. The re-association trace number will be displayed in field 3

• f the Addenda Record of a CCD transaction.

Step 2: Find the re-association trace number. You should talk to your bank about how you wish to receive addenda record information containing the re-association trace number. Your billing system may receive a CCD transaction, or you can request a downloadable report from the bank that provides the re-association trace number.

Reconciliation Process Using the Re-association Trace Number (Continued

Prestige Health Choice 14

Step 3: Match the EFT and electronic remittance advice (ERA). The re-association trace number can also be found within the corresponding ERA file to match the EFT and the ERA together. If you auto-post your payment into your billing system, contact your vendor and ask where the re-association trace number is populated and how the ERA and payment are married. If you receive a report, you can match the re-association trace number found on your reports against the electronic remit available in Payment Manager. The re-association trace number is the check number — see below. Payee ID: 12345 Tax ID: 111111111 NPI #: 1555555555 Check No.: 0529999 Check Ref. ID: 1234567890123 Payment Amount: 500.00 Date: 6/1/2017
