ERA / 835 EXPORT · ANY CLEARINGHOUSE OR PM (GENERIC 835 EXPORT)

How to export your ERA / 835 from Any Clearinghouse or PM (Generic 835 Export)

No matter which clearinghouse or practice-management system you use — Availity, Change Healthcare/Optum, Waystar, Trizetto, Claim.MD, or the billing module of any EHR — your electronic remittances arrive as 835 files and post as ERAs. The general path out is the same everywhere: find where remittances are received, filter by date, and either download the 835 files or export a payment/adjustment report.

Step by step

1
Sign in to wherever your ERAs actually land — usually a clearinghouse portal or the billing/remittance module of your PM/EHR
2
Go to the ERA, remittance, or payments area and set a recent date range (the last 3-6 months is a good sample)
3
Look for a download or export option — many clearinghouses let you download the raw 835 files directly
4
If raw 835s aren't available, export a posted-payments or denial report that includes the adjustment/denial reason codes

Good to know

  • The raw 835 is the richest form (every CARC/RARC and adjustment); a payment/denial report is a fine substitute when the raw file isn't downloadable
  • ERAs only exist for payers you're enrolled with electronically — anything paid by paper check/EOB won't be in the electronic feed
  • Access is almost always role-gated; use a billing or admin login, or ask whoever manages your remittances to pull the export
  • If you're not sure where your ERAs land, the payer's electronic-remittance enrollment tells you which clearinghouse receives them
