What process involves payers depositing funds to the provider's account electronically?

The process that involves payers depositing funds to a provider's account electronically is known as Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT). This method allows healthcare organizations to receive payments directly to their bank accounts, streamlining the payment process and helping to reduce the time and costs associated with manual payment methods such as checks.

EFT is particularly advantageous in the healthcare revenue cycle as it accelerates cash flow and minimizes the risk of lost or delayed payments. Providers can expect to see payments reflected in their accounts more swiftly than with traditional methods, improving their overall financial management.

In contrast, other options pertain to different aspects of the financial process within healthcare. An Open Claims process refers to claims that are still pending resolution, while a Provider Remittance Notice and Electronic Remittance Advice are documents that provide detailed information on what has been paid, denied, or adjusted in regards to a claim, rather than directly involving the electronic transfer of funds.
