Auto Posting: Explanation of benefits is submitted in electronic remittance advice/ERA form which can be downloaded directly onto the client management system. In brief, the entire payment posting process is done in the system software so as to audit it anytime.

Manual Posting: In this process, the EOB is initially sent to the posting team, where they are examined at the practitioner's place of business, and then eventually shipped by the team in an envelope or delivered to the providers' location by other means. Once the payment is retrieved, the posting process is continued by the batch creation of payments in order to prevent any error.
