Premera Blue Cross Blue Shield of Alaska contracted providers are now able to receive electronic funds transfer (EFT) for Federal Employee Program (FEP) payments. This change will not apply to non-contracted providers in Alaska.
Replacing the daily payment schedule, EFT payments will be made on Tuesdays and checks will be mailed on Wednesdays. We’ll continue to print and mail paper Explanation of Payments (EOPs) for claim reimbursement for services provided to FEP members.
If you’re a current EFT participant, you’re automatically enrolled in the EFT for FEP claim payments and no further action is required. If you’re not yet signed up for EFT, you’ll need to have an EFT administrator role with OneHealthPort and your tax ID number (TIN). Learn how to sign up for EFT.
