What it means
A remittance advice (RA) is a document sent from an insurance payer to a healthcare provider that explains how a claim was processed and paid. It lists the services billed, the allowed amounts, what the plan paid, any adjustments made, denial reasons, and what — if anything — the patient owes. The Medicare version is called an Electronic Remittance Advice (ERA) or Standard Paper Remittance (SPR). While patients typically receive an Explanation of Benefits (EOB) with similar information, the remittance advice is primarily sent to providers for their billing records. Understanding remittance advice helps if you receive a balance bill that conflicts with what your insurer paid.
