One of the benefits of enrolling for the Electronic Remittance Advice (ERA) is that you automatically receive the Electronic Payment Summary (EPS). The EPS contains the same information as your paper Provider Claim Summary (PCS). The advantage of going paperless is that you receive your payment information sooner, and it is also easier to archive.

• New ERA/EPS enrollees will continue to receive their paper PCS for 30 days after they start receiving their ERA and EPS files. This 30-day transition period is designed to help providers make a gradual switch from paper to electronic files. When the transition period ends, the PCS will be discontinued and providers will receive only the EPS going forward.
• If you enrolled for ERA/EPS directly or through your clearinghouse/billing agent more than a month ago, you may have continued to receive both the ERA and the PCS in your office for longer than 30 days. Please be advised that your PCS will now be discontinued. Going forward, you will receive only the EPS.
