Which payments use this route?
CountyCare lists payer ID 06541 and Availity as its clearinghouse vendor. Sending a claim through Availity and registering to receive money through InstaMed are separate tasks. Check the payer instructions.
Card fees, checks and no-fee EFT
CountyCare’s public instructions verify free electronic payments; they do not establish that every unenrolled provider receives a virtual card. Use the actual payment notice to determine whether you have a paper check, card or bank transfer. Review the source before choosing a method.

How to enroll and keep remittances connected
Open the CountyCare-linked payer-payment form. The provider page links an InstaMed order form with an online option at register.instamed.com/eraeft. Prefer the current online application or confirm that the linked paper version remains appropriate. Official instructions.
Prepare the practice and banking details. The linked form asks for legal name, tax ID, billing NPIs, contact details and the deposit account. It requires a voided check or bank letter and a signed authorization. Include only NPIs whose funds should route to your practice. Official instructions.
Choose the remittance destination. The form offers portal remittances and a clearinghouse field. Confirm the supported clearinghouse before moving ERA delivery so your billing system keeps receiving payment details. Official instructions.
Enter the practice information
The 2026 Brown & Toland provider manual illustrates InstaMed’s business-information screen: legal business name, address, principal or officer details, and billing provider information. Use the practice’s records and follow the current application prompts. These are shared InstaMed registration illustrations, not this payer’s claim portal. The manual was revised September 2025; screens may change. Enrollment screen guide.

Enter the bank account for EFT
The next illustrated enrollment screen asks for the bank name, routing number, account number and account-number confirmation. Enter the practice’s intended deposit account and follow the current verification requirements. The example check and contact address in the crop are covered. Bank-information screen guide.

InstaMed’s application permits only the owner or an authorized employee to complete registration; third-party enrollment is not allowed. Your biller can help prepare records and use separate delegated access after setup. Registration terms.
Verify the first payment
As an operational check, compare the bank deposit with the corresponding ERA or EOP, confirm the billing entity and payment reference, and check that your billing system received the remittance. InstaMed provides portal remittance access and a supported-clearinghouse list. ERA and remittance overview; supported ERA clearinghouses.
If enrollment or a payment is still missing
Recommended next check: If claim status is visible in Availity but no deposit appears, first separate claim adjudication from payment enrollment. Check the payment reference, billing entity and enrollment status rather than sending the claim again solely because funds are missing. Payer payment guidance; InstaMed provider support.
What if a fee was already taken?
Keep the remittance, merchant settlement or vendor statement, and enrollment confirmation. Ask the entity that actually charged the fee about its refund policy and ask the payer/vendor to confirm the method for future payments. Do not assume that a new enrollment reverses an earlier fee, or that a smaller settlement means the payer owes another full payment. For the general card-versus-ACH distinction, read the InstaMed virtual-card fee guide.
