Authorization for Electronic Funds Transfer (Automatic Deposit)
Dear Provider:
Effective November 1, 2017, Provider Enrollment will no longer accept provider enrollment applications without a completed authorization for Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT).Providers must utilize EFT, which allows your Medicaid payments to be directly deposited into your bank account. In addition to providing more secure payment and decreased administrative costs, you will notice a difference in your cash flow with EFT because it makes your money available sooner than the actual clearance date of paper checks. Additionally, please verify that your Remittance Advice is set to electronic delivery. Arkansas IVIedicaid appreciates your cooperation in allowing us to become more efficient and more environmentally friendly.
When enrolling as a Medicaid provider, you must complete the Authorization for Electronic Funds Transfer forni and'attach a VOIDED CHECK OR A LETTER FROM THE BANK REFLECTING THE BANK'S ABA NUMBER AND YOUR ACCOUNT NUMBER to have vour Medicaid payment automatically deposited.
If you have any further questions concerning this letter, please contact the Provider Assistance Center at 501-376-2211 (local or out-of-state) or 1-800-457 -4454 (in-state WATS).
Sincerely,
Arkansas Department of Human Services
