Hospitals, laboratories, physicians and other health care professionals receive and reconcile thousands of claims payments and paper explanation of benefits (EOBs) each year, creating countless stacks of checks and paperwork resulting in hours of staff time spent on manual processing and reconciliation. EPS allows for easier reconciliation, less paperwork and greater efficiency - improving the way you do business.
UnitedHealthcare has adopted Electronic Payments & Statements (EPS) as a standard for its operations. Learn more about how your organization can benefit from enrolling in EPS from the links below.
