EOB to ERA Converter for Tebra (formerly Kareo) - Stop Manual Payment Posting

Problem: You’re using Tebra (formerly Kareo), but your clearinghouse still sends EOB PDFs. Someone on your team has to manually enter every payment into Tebra.

Cost: 10-15 hours/week in staff time. $500-$2,000/month in wasted labor.

Solution: Automated EOB to ERA conversion with direct Tebra API posting.


Why Tebra Practices Need This

If you’re on Tebra (or still using legacy Kareo), you know the pain:

Manual data entry from EOB PDFs into Tebra ❌ Typos and misreads causing AR aging issues ❌ Payments lagging 1-3 days behind actual deposits ❌ Staff burnout from repetitive tasks ❌ No easy reconciliation between EOBs and Tebra patient accounts

Result: Lost revenue, wasted time, and frustrated staff.

FAQ: Tebra & Kareo EOB to ERA Conversion

Q: Does this work with my version of Tebra/Kareo?

A: Yes. Our EOB to ERA converter works with all versions of Tebra and legacy Kareo, including the latest Tebra platform and older Kareo installations.

Q: How do I set up the Tebra API connection?

A: We handle everything. Just provide your Tebra API credentials, and our team configures the integration. Typically takes 1-2 business days.

Q: What if a payment doesn’t post correctly to Tebra?

A: The system flags errors immediately and sends you an email alert with details. You can fix it with one click, or we’ll help you resolve it.

Q: Can I test this with my actual Tebra EOBs before committing?

A: Absolutely. We offer a 30-day pilot at no cost. Send us 2-4 weeks of your actual EOBs, we’ll process them, and you can review the results in your Tebra system before anything goes live.

Q: Do you need access to my Tebra system?

A: For the pilot, we only need sample EOBs (no live data). For go-live, we need API credentials to post to Tebra, but we never access patient data beyond what’s needed for payment posting.

Q: What payers do you support for Tebra?

A: All major payers: Medicare (all MACs), Medicaid, Blue Cross Blue Shield, UnitedHealthcare, Aetna, Cigna, Humana, and all commercial payers. We can handle custom payer formats if needed.
