In response to feedback from health care professionals, Optum Pay now includes additional payment information that you can access at no cost. Specifically:
- Detailed remittance information (downloadable PDFs), as well as access to 835 files for each payment processed through Optum Pay
- Access up to 13 months of payment data
This change recognizes the importance of having downloadable provider remittance advice (PRA) documents available to help with your financial management and claim reconciliation activities.
Note: Optum Pay basic is only available to health care professionals and facilities who enroll in Automated Clearing House (ACH)/direct deposit through Optum Pay.
