• If the only reason for this enrollment form being submitted is to request the PC-ACE software, check the box for PC-ACE Enrollment Only and provide your existing portal Submitter ID.
• When selecting this option, also be sure to select Yes from the PC-ACE Enrollment dropdown box on page 2.
• Click the box “Assign ERA to an existing submitter/receiver ID” to have your ERA sent to an existing ID. Type the ID in the block.
• Click the box “Maintain existing ERA setup” if you do not want any changes made to your ERA. This option cannot be selected if you are currently receiving paper remittances.
• Click the box “Create a new and separate receiver ID” to have a new ID created to retrieve your ERA, separate from the submitter ID used to send claims.

• If nothing is selected, your existing remittance setup will be maintained, unless you currently receive paper remittance.
• Type the name(s) or submitter/receiver ID(s) in the box to keep them linked to the provider. All other submitter/receiver IDs will be removed immediately.
• If you maintain a submitter to finalize any remaining billing, you can send a request on letterhead to have them removed once billing is completed.
PC-ACE is a free software that can be used to create electronic claim files for submission, and to interpret electronic claim reports. Information about PC-ACE can be found on our website (JH)(JL).

• If a third-party billing service or clearinghouse is submitting your claims, it is not necessary for you to enroll for PC-ACE unless you will also be submitting claims or need it to interpret reports.
• Read the software terms and system requirements carefully before enrolling for PC-ACE.
• PC-ACE does not provide a connection to First Coast. Therefore, you will need to acquire your own SFTP software to connect and send your claims.
