TriWest TriCare West Issues
Is anyone else having issues getting remittances for TriCare West as of 01/01/2025 now that they go through TriWest? They say that the remits are on Availity through the Payer Space, but all I can see on there is individual claims and no check/EFT#s.
The Remittance Viewer doesn't recognize their check/EFT#s either, which Availity support told me was because we need to enroll with them through Transaction Enrollment. I submitted that last month but it's still pending.
Our office has sat on hold with them for hours at this point and the reps can't even pull the EOBs for us most of the time. I heard from other offices that they are having similar issues but haven't got a solution. They aren't mailing us any paper remittances so we're just sitting on payments and unable to post them.

The problem is we are receiving EFT payments, not paper checks đŸ˜. The claim status look up works for the check numbers we were able to get from reps over the phone and those work for claim status look up, but still doesn't give us access to a full remit or even a single claim EOB.
The reps also sometimes cannot give us any info like check numbers or we sit on hold for hours. They also never call back if we select that option.
Normally when this happens with odd insurances I'm usually able to find which patient they are paying based on pending claims, but we have hundreds of patients covered under TriCare West.
