The
Bureau of Early Intervention and the State Fiscal Agent (SFA), PCG, are pleased
to announce that Early Intervention (EI) Billing Providers now have the option
to receive escrow payments via Electronic Fund Transfer (EFT). Prior to
offering this option to all EI Billing Providers, the SFA conducted a pilot
with selected Providers, to ensure a smooth and efficient EFT enrollment
process. The success of this pilot allows the SFA to open enrollment for all EI
Billing Providers on Wednesday, August 5, 2015.
Prior
to beginning the enrollment process, all Billing Providers must complete a short training tutorial – How
to Sign Up for Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) – available now on the
EIBilling.com Training Page. This tutorial steps through the process of
enrolling in EFT online via EIBilling.com. DO
NOT enter any enrollment information on EIBilling.com prior to completing the
tutorial.
Prior
to completing the tutorial and beginning the EFT enrollment process, you must
have the following information available:
·
Financial Institution Information: You will need to have your checking
account information in order to initiate your enrollment in EFT. This includes:
o Bank Name
o Bank Routing
Number
o Checking
Account Number
·
Alternative Email Address: For security purposes, we ask that you
use an email address other than the address you use for general EI
correspondence.
Please Note: In addition to completing the
online EFT Request Form (as described in the tutorial), you MUST send a printed copy of your
completed, signed EFT Request Form and a voided check to the SFA via secure fax
or US Postal Service. To reduce enrollment times, the SFA recommends that
Billing Providers use the secure fax number. See below for the addresses:
