Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) Enrollment

Carelon's preferred payment method is electronic transfer of funds (EFT) for claim payments to a contracted Healthcare Provider's bank account.


*This is for Home Health Agencies only*


Generally, a Provider can access EFT funds sooner than a Provider deposited remittance received through traditional paper checks.


The following outlines the process for setup of an EFT payment to a Provider's bank account:

  • Requirement 1: Copy of a voided check (An account verification letter from your bank is also acceptable.)
  • Requirement 2: Completed Electronic Funds Transfer Authorization form.
  • Requirement 3: Copy of Provider W9. If you have a remit change, please submit a change request prior to EFT enrollment.


Please Note:

  • A separate Electronic Funds Transfer Authorization and W9 is required for each Provider Tax ID number to be set up for EFT.
  • A Provider Tax ID number may be associated to only one bank account number.
  • Carelon verifies the bank name and the bank transit or routing number.
  • All EFT payments are made at the Provider Tax ID number level. All locations under the submitted Tax ID will be enrolled with the provided bank and routing number.
  • EFT enrollment requires Providers to access EOPs on the Carelon Provider Portal.
