Change Healthcare is partnering with ECHO Health, Inc. (ECHO Health), a leading innovator in electronic payment solutions, to offer more electronic payment options to our health care providers. You can select the payment method that best suits your accounts receivable workflow.
ECHO Health offers virtual credit cards as an optional payment method. Virtual credit cards are randomly generated, temporary credit card numbers that are either faxed or mailed to providers for claims reimbursement. VCC payments have a number of advantages for providers:
- You do not have to enroll or fill out multiple forms in order to receive VCC.
- We will never request personal information, such as practice bank account information.
- You can access your payment the day you receive the VCC.
AmeriHealth Caritas VIP Care providers who are not currently registered to receive payments electronically will receive VCC payments as their default payment method, instead of paper checks. Your office will receive either faxed or mailed VCC payments, each containing a VCC with a number unique to that payment transaction, an instruction page for processing, and a detailed Explanation of Payment /Remittance Advice (EOP/RA). Normal transaction fees apply based on your merchant acquirer relationship.
If you do not wish to receive your claim payments through VCC, you can opt out by contacting ECHO Health at 1-888-492-5579.
