APWU Health Plan provider payment options

To simplify and improve provider payment transactions, APWU Health Plan has engaged PNC Healthcare to provide electronic payment methods via a claim payments & remittances (CPR) service, powered by ECHO Health.

EFT and ERA options

Virtual card payments (VCPs)

This electronic payment method gives you more control over accepting the payment. If you have a HIPAA-certified fax number on file with ECHO, your office will receive a fax notification. If not, your virtual card will be mailed. Each notification will contain a virtual card with a number unique to that payment transaction, including an instruction page for processing.

The steps for processing these payments are similar to how you manually enter patient card payments. Be sure to enter the full amount of the payment prior to the expiration date on the card. Normal transaction fees apply and are based on your merchant-acquirer relationship.

Electronic funds transfer (EFT) payments

EFT is a fast, reliable payment method that automatically deposits payments into your bank account. You can also choose to automate the associated remittance information via an 835 electronic remittance advice (ERA) sent directly to your organization or clearinghouse. This service may require a fee.

Paper checks

APWU Health Plan continues to support check payments with an EOP, but this is not the most efficient payment method for you or the Health Plan. Please consider taking advantage of an electronic payment option.
