Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) and payments

Setting up Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT)

Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) allows some participating providers to receive electronic payments directly in their bank account. This results in faster payment than paper checks. It also means not having to worry if a check is lost, stolen or damaged.

Participating providers already using Blue e can set up EFT in the provider portal. Need help doing so or want to check if you qualify for EFT? Contact eSolutions Help Desk: 888-333-8594, option 1.

Blue Cross NC may choose to pay non-contracted providers. Non-contracted providers will be paid via paper check only.
