Remittance Advice

Remittance Advices are provided for Contracted and Non-Contracted Providers that receive direct payments from Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Nebraska (BCBSNE). Remittance Advices provide detailed information about the final claim adjudication and payment information.   

Tips about remits:

• Most providers receive remits electronically.  
• Paper remits are mailed within 72 hours of payment. 
• Once a provider has converted to an electronic remit, paper remits are discontinued.  
• The member Explanation of Benefits (EOB) and participating provider’s remit are sent simultaneously.  
• Adjudication and payment information is detailed for each claim on the remittance advice.  
• Deductible, coinsurance, copay and noncovered charges are identified.  
• Amounts considered provider responsibility/write-off are identified.
